  The SAP error message CDSCORE011: Attribute name is empty typically occurs in the context of Core Data Services (CDS) views in SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a CDS view, specifically that an attribute name is not properly defined or is missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Attribute Name: The most common cause is that one of the attributes in the CDS view definition does not have a name assigned to it.
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the CDS view definition that lead to the attribute name being interpreted as empty.

  Check the CDS View Definition: Review the CDS view definition in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11, SE80). Ensure that all attributes have valid names and are correctly defined.
  Correct Syntax Errors: Look for any syntax errors in the CDS view. Ensure that all keywords, annotations, and definitions are correctly formatted.
