• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR601 - Object name &3 is too long, abbreviate it ?

  The SAP error message TR601 indicates that the name of an object (such as a transport request, program, or other repository object) exceeds the maximum length allowed by the system. In SAP, different types of objects have specific naming conventions and length restrictions, and this error typically arises when an object name exceeds these limits.
  Cause:
  
  The object name (denoted as &3 in the error message) is longer than the maximum allowed length for that type of object.
  This can happen when creating or modifying objects in the SAP system, especially if the naming conventions are not followed or if there is a misunderstanding of the length restrictions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Abbreviate the Object Name:

  Database tables: 30 characters
  
  
  Make sure to use prefixes or abbreviations that are standard in your organization.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
