FL717
- Namespace may only be 10 characters long (including delimiters) ?The SAP error message FL717 indicates that the namespace you are trying to use exceeds the maximum allowed length of 10 characters, including any delimiters. In SAP, namespaces are used to uniquely identify objects, especially in the context of ABAP development and transport management. The limitation is in place to ensure consistency and avoid conflicts in naming conventions.
Cause: The namespace you are trying to define or use is longer than the allowed limit of 10 characters. This could happen when creating a new development object, such as a function module, class, or package, where the namespace is part of the naming convention.
Solution: Shorten the Namespace: Review the namespace you are trying to use and ensure it is 10 characters or fewer, including any delimiters (like slashes or underscores). For example, if your namespace is Z_MY_NAMESPACE, you could shorten it to Z_MYNS or Z_MYN. Use Standard Naming Conventions: Follow SAP's standard naming conventions for namespaces.
