• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDCMP006 - Modifications are not supported by the splitscreen editor ?

  The SAP error message EDCMP006 indicates that modifications are not supported by the split-screen editor. This typically occurs when you are trying to edit a transaction or data in a way that is not allowed by the split-screen functionality in SAP.

  Split-Screen Editor Limitation: The split-screen editor is designed for specific types of transactions and may not support modifications in certain contexts. This can happen if the transaction you are trying to edit does not allow changes in the split-screen mode.

  Check Transaction Compatibility: Ensure that the transaction you are trying to modify is compatible with the split-screen editor. If it is not, you will need to use the full-screen mode to make your changes.
