How To Fix AQ115 - Choose a different query name (report & already exists)

AQ115 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AQ - Message texts for SAP Query

• Message number: 115

• Message text: Choose a different query name (report & already exists)

What causes this issue?

A report is generated from the specifications you make when defining
the layout of your query list. The name of this report always begins
with AQ, while the subsequent characters provide information about the
user group, the client and the query itself. These report names are
protected, i.e. they are reserved for ABAP/4 Query and cannot be used
for other purposes.
You attempted to create a query that would generate a report which
already exists. For this reason, you cannot create a query with this
name, since it would overwrite an existing report.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

First, check which user owns the report specified in the message and
why this name was chosen. Then, try to get the report deleted or
renamed, so that you are not restricted in your choice of query names.
If this is not possible, you cannot create a query with this name.
