SAP Note 752614 - Reducing file name in the LSMW to a max. of 45 characters

Component : Legacy System Migration Workbench -

Summary :
When using the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) for data migration, users may encounter an error in the 'Specify files' step that requires file names, including the path, to be shortened to 45 characters. This issue stems from system-generated proposals for filenames resulting from concatenations that include project identifiers and are appended with 'lsmw.read' or 'lsmw.conv'. Differences in user-specific directory paths can lead to variations in filename length. To resolve this, users should manually adjust the filename or operate from the SAP home directory to adhere to the character limit.
