Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_IL_GEN064 - Remove the underscore from the 2. or 3. position of the field name &1 ?

  The SAP error message COM_ILGEN064 typically indicates that there is an issue with the naming convention of a field in your SAP system. Specifically, it suggests that there is an underscore character () in the 2nd or 3rd position of a field name, which is not allowed according to SAP's naming conventions.
  Cause:
  
  In SAP, field names must adhere to specific naming conventions. One of these conventions is that underscores cannot be placed in the 2nd or 3rd position of a field name. This restriction is in place to ensure consistency and avoid potential conflicts or confusion in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to modify the field name that is causing the issue. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Field Name: Look at the error message to identify the specific field name that is causing the issue (denoted by &1 in the error message).
  
  
  Modify the Field Name: Change the field name to remove the underscore from the 2nd or 3rd position. For example:
  
  If the field name is A_BC, you could change it to AB_C or A_BC1 (ensuring that the underscore is not in the 2nd or 3rd position).
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: If the field name is used in multiple places (like in database tables, structures, or programs), ensure that you update all references to the field name accordingly.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the changes, test the functionality to ensure that everything works as expected and that the error message no longer appears.
