Unable to run a program without saving/activating.

690 Views

Hi,

I am working on a big ALV report and I am facing a problem that the system is not allowing me to run my program unless I save it and then activate it....(Directly activating should save automatically, even that is not happening at times.)

The following is the details of the error that I am getting:

<u><b>No name free for internal report copy. Save the report first</b></u>

<i>Message no. ED815</i>

<b>Diagnosis</b>

You want the editor to execute a program which has not yet been saved.

To do this, it creates an internal copy of the contents of the editor as

a program under a name which is made up from the program name by

overwriting the first character with '!' and possibly the second

character with a number.

All names in this name range have, however, already been filled.

<b>Procedure</b>

1. Please save the contents of the editor before you execute it.

2. Please check whether all reports in the name range '!......' are

still needed.

What I understand from the message above is that all the internal temporary names (the ones with !) within the program range of my program name are exhausted as I have been running it unactivated/unsaved since quite some time and frequently as well. Please note that this problem is NOT coming up with other programs with different name.

<i>Please let me know if my deduction is correct, and if it is, then how can I delete the internal named copies of my programs which are not required, which were previously saved so that I can execute without saving.

In case I am wrong please advice about a way out of this problem.</i>

Thanks and regards,

Nikhil Sharma
