• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP056 - Too many temporary programs generated ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WXP056 - Too many temporary programs generated
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when the number of temporary programs generated in the SAP system exceeds a certain threshold. Temporary programs are created dynamically by the SAP runtime environment, for example, when executing certain ABAP code constructs like dynamic SELECT statements, generated reports, or during debugging sessions.
  The system limits the number of temporary programs to avoid excessive memory consumption and performance degradation. When this limit is reached, the system issues the WXP056 warning.
  
  Detailed Explanation:
  
  Temporary programs are generated during runtime for various purposes such as:
  Dynamic code execution
  Debugging
  Runtime-generated reports or forms
  
  
  These programs are stored in the SAP database and are reused if the same dynamic code is executed again.
  Over time, if many different dynamic programs are generated and not cleaned up, the number of temporary programs can grow very large.
  The system parameter controlling the maximum number of temporary programs is exceeded, triggering this warning.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Clean
