How To Fix AQ793 - Program names AQ...... are reserved for ABAP query

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AQ - Message texts for SAP Query

• Message number: 793

• Message text: Program names AQ...... are reserved for ABAP query

What causes this issue?

The ABAP query names its generated reports according to certain
conventions. The names of all reports generated from queries start with
the characters AQ.
If you create your own report and its name begins with AQ, you interfere
with the work of the ABAP query since queries then cannot be defined
with certain names. Since the namespace for queries is not very large,
every extra restriction is bothersome.

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?

Do not use a name beginning with AQ for your own reports.
