How To Fix DI824 - Maximum number & of lock parameters exceeded

DI824 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DI - Dictionary messages: Indexes

• Message number: 824

• Message text: Maximum number & of lock parameters exceeded

What causes this issue?

The lock object to be activated has a total of &V2&
<DS:TX.DDDOK_ENQU_PARAMETER>lock parameters</>. It therefore exceeds
the maximum number of &V1& lock parameters. The generated lock modules
therefore could be syntactically wrong.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

After activation check whether the generated lock modules are
syntactically correct. If this is not so, delete the lock object
immediately, as otherwise an application error could occur. Then
proceed as follows:
Check if this large number of lock parameters is really necessary. Try
to remove lock parameters in the definition of the lock object if these
are generically locked.
If you cannot reduce the number of lock parameters enough with the
specified actions, you must distribute the tables to be locked on
several lock objects. You then have to call more lock modules for the
<DS:TX.DDDOK_ENQU_CALL>lock request</>. You can also
<DS:TX.DDDOK_ENQU_COLLECT>collect locks in a local lock container</>.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DI824 - Maximum number & of lock parameters exceeded ?

  The SAP error message DI824: Maximum number & of lock parameters exceeded typically occurs when the number of lock parameters specified in a lock request exceeds the maximum limit defined in the SAP system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a program or transaction tries to lock too many objects simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Lock Requests: The application or transaction is attempting to lock more objects than the system allows.
  Configuration Limits: The maximum number of lock parameters is defined in the system configuration, and the current request exceeds this limit.
  Inefficient Code: Poorly designed ABAP code or logic that unnecessarily locks multiple objects can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Locking Logic: Analyze the ABAP code or transaction that is causing the error. Ensure that it only locks the necessary objects and avoids excessive locking.
  Optimize Lock Requests: If possible, reduce the number of objects being locked in a single request. This may involve
