  The SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN026 indicates that there is an issue with the naming conventions used for set types and attribute names in the context of SAP's classification system. Specifically, the error states that the set type name and attribute name cannot contain any blanks (spaces).
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to create or modify a set type or attribute name that includes spaces. In SAP, naming conventions are strict, and spaces are not allowed in identifiers for set types and attributes. This is to ensure consistency and avoid issues in processing and referencing these names within the system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Naming: Review the set type name and attribute name you are trying to use. Ensure that there are no spaces in either name.
  
  
  Rename if Necessary: If you find that there are spaces, rename the set type or attribute by removing the spaces. You can use underscores (_) or camel case (e.g., SetTypeName or setTypeName) as alternatives to separate words.
  
  
  Validation: After making the changes, validate the names to ensure they comply with SAP's naming conventions. Typically, names should be alphanumeric and can include underscores but should not start with a number.
  
  
  Re-attempt the Operation: Once you have corrected the names, re-attempt the operation that triggered the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation for the classification system to understand the naming conventions and restrictions.
  Transaction Codes: If you are working within a specific transaction (e.g., CL02 for class maintenance), ensure you are familiar with the interface and requirements for naming.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or updates regarding this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully create or modify the set type and attribute names in SAP.
