• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: D0 - Machine-level ABAP/4 Dictionary texts (e.g. debugging)

• Message number: 766

What causes this issue?

You want to create an object in a namespace that has already been
assigned a type group.
Within a type group you can define any number of types whose names are
made up of the names of the type group, an underscore line, and the type
name.
A type defined in a type group might be the same as the name of the
object that you created. In such cases, the definition from ABAP
Dictionary is overwritten in programs using this type group.
In certain circumstances, syntax errors can occur in consumer programs,
depending on whether the type group was loaded or not.
