SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: EC - Development environment: Menu Painter

  • Message number: 803

  • Message text: Generation &1 terminated (see long text). Return code &

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    Termination when generating a text load because there was no more
    storage space.
    This means that either the parameters ZTTA/CUA_AREA and ZTTA/SHORT_AREA
    are not compatible or the user interface of the program is too big.

    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?

    Check whether you can split your program, and thus the user interface,
    into smaller units.
    If this is not possible, get your system administrator to set the ZTTA
    parameters. If one of the ZTTA parameters has been changed, both should
    be reset to the SAP standard. Should this fail, both (!) values can be
    increased.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EC803 - Generation &1 terminated (see long text). Return code & ?

    The SAP error message EC803 indicates that the generation of a specific object (often related to the generation of a program or a function module) has been terminated. The message typically includes a return code that provides additional context about the nature of the error.

    Cause:

    The EC803 error can be caused by several factors, including but not limited to:

    1. Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the ABAP code that prevent successful generation.
    2. Missing Objects: Dependencies or required objects (like function modules, classes, or data elements) may be missing or not activated.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the generation.
    4. System Issues: There could be issues with the SAP system itself, such as memory problems or database locks.
    5. Transport Issues: If the object is part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport itself.

    Solution:

    To resolve the EC803 error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check the Long Text: The long text of the error message often provides specific details about what went wrong. Use transaction code SE91 to view the long text associated with the error message.
    2. Review Syntax: If the error is related to ABAP code, check for syntax errors in the code. You can do this by using the syntax check (Ctrl + F2) in the ABAP editor (SE38 or SE80).
    3. Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects are available and activated. You can use transaction SE80 to check the status of related objects.
    4. Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the generation. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
    5. System Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any related errors or warnings that might provide additional context.
    6. Transport Management: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is correctly configured and that there are no issues with the transport directory.
    7. Re-try Generation: After addressing the above points, try to regenerate the object again.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: SE80 (Object Navigator), SE38 (ABAP Editor), SE91 (Message Maintenance), SM21 (System Log), SU53 (Authorization Check).
