• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS356 - Parameter field &1 has name of length 30 chars. This is not supported. ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS356 indicates that a parameter field in a Core Data Services (CDS) view or a related ABAP program has a name that exceeds the maximum allowed length of 30 characters. This is a restriction in SAP systems, as certain identifiers, including parameter names, must adhere to specific naming conventions and length limitations.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to define a parameter in a CDS view or ABAP program with a name that is longer than 30 characters. This can happen if:
  
  You are using a naming convention that results in long parameter names.
  You have inadvertently created a parameter name that exceeds the limit.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to shorten the name of the parameter field to ensure it is 30 characters or fewer. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Parameter: Locate the parameter that is causing the error. The error message will typically indicate which parameter is problematic (denoted by &1).
  
  
  Rename the Parameter: Change the name of the parameter to a shorter version. Ensure that the new name is meaningful and adheres to your naming conventions.
  
  
  Check for Other Instances: If the parameter is used in multiple places (e.g., in other CDS views, ABAP programs, or function modules), make sure to update all instances to avoid inconsistencies.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After renaming the parameter, activate the CDS view or ABAP program and test it to ensure that the error is resolved and that the functionality remains intact.
  
  
  Related Information:
