• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W3_TOOL035 - Object name is too long ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W3_TOOL035 Object name is too long
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when an object name (such as a table name, program name, function module name, or any other repository object name) exceeds the maximum allowed length defined by SAP. Each type of object in SAP has a specific length limit for its name, and if you try to create or use an object with a name longer than this limit, the system raises this error.
  For example:  
  
  ABAP program names are limited to 30 characters.  
  Table names are limited to 16 characters.  
  Other repository objects have their own length restrictions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Shorten the Object Name:
  
  Rename the object so that its name fits within the allowed length limits. Use abbreviations or meaningful shorter names.
  
  
  Check Naming Conventions:
  
  Follow SAP naming conventions and guidelines to avoid unnecessarily long names.
  
  
  Verify Object Type Limits:
  
  Confirm the maximum length allowed for the specific object type you are working with. For example:  
  
  Table names: max 16 characters  
  Program names: max 30 characters  
  Function modules: max 30 characters  
  Data elements, domains, etc., have their own limits.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SE80 or SE11:
  
  When creating or modifying objects, use SAP tools that enforce these limits and provide immediate feedback.
