• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EZ166 - Form routine &1 could not be deleted in include &2 ?

  The SAP error message EZ166 indicates that there was an attempt to delete a form routine (a subroutine used in SAPscript or Smart Forms) that could not be deleted from the specified include program. This error typically arises in the context of SAPscript or Smart Forms development when there are dependencies or issues related to the form routine.
  Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The form routine you are trying to delete may be referenced elsewhere in the program or in other programs. If there are active references, SAP will not allow the deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the form routine.
  Inconsistent State: The include program may be in an inconsistent state due to previous errors or incomplete changes.
  Transport Issues: If the form routine is part of a transport request that has not been released or is in a different state, it may prevent deletion.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check References: Before attempting to delete the form routine, check if it is being called or referenced in other parts of the program. You can use the "Where-Used List" functionality to find references.
  Remove Dependencies: If there are references, you will need to remove or modify them before you can delete the form routine.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the form routine. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator.
  Check Include Program: Ensure that the include program is not locked or in an inconsistent state. You can try to activate the include program to see if that resolves the issue.
  Transport Request: If the form routine is part of a transport request, ensure that the request is released and that there are no issues with the transport system.
  Use Transaction SE71 or SMARTFORMS: Depending on whether you are working with SAPscript or Smart Forms, navigate to the appropriate transaction to manage your forms and routines.
