• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DS075 - Program name too long. Names longer than & chars for internal use only ?

  The SAP error message DS075 indicates that a program name exceeds the maximum allowed length for internal use. In SAP, certain identifiers, such as program names, have specific length restrictions, and exceeding these limits can lead to errors.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a program name or identifier exceeds the maximum character limit set by SAP. The message typically specifies a limit (e.g., "Names longer than & chars for internal use only"), which indicates that the program name you are trying to use is too long.
  Solution:
  To resolve the DS075 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Shorten the Program Name:

  Check Naming Conventions: 
  
  Ensure that the new program name follows SAP's naming conventions. For example, custom programs typically start with "Z" or "Y" to distinguish them from standard SAP programs.
  
  
  
  Review Related Objects: 
  
  If the program name is referenced in other objects (like function modules, classes, or includes), make sure to update those references accordingly.
