• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DHANA_CDS_MODEL005 - Tables and fields should be upper case ?

  The SAP error message DHANA_CDS_MODEL005 indicates that there is a requirement for table names and field names to be in upper case when defining Core Data Services (CDS) views. This is a common requirement in SAP systems to ensure consistency and adherence to naming conventions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you define a CDS view and use table or field names that are not in upper case. SAP enforces this rule to maintain a standard format, as SQL is case-sensitive in certain contexts, and using upper case helps avoid ambiguity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all table names and field names in your CDS view definition are written in upper case. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  Edit the CDS View: Open the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant editor.
  Change Case: Make sure that all table names and field names are in upper case. For example:
  
  Instead of select from my_table, use select from MY_TABLE.
  Instead of field1, use FIELD1.
  
  
  Save and Activate: After making the changes, save the CDS view and activate it.
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) are a way to define semantic data models in SAP. They allow for the definition of complex data models that can be consumed by various applications.
  Naming Conventions: Following naming conventions is crucial in SAP development to ensure code readability and maintainability.
  SQL Case Sensitivity: Be aware that SQL can be case-sensitive depending on the database system being used, which is why adhering to upper case conventions is important in SAP environments.
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  If you are working with a large number of fields or tables, consider using a script or tool to convert names to upper case to save time.
  Always check the SAP documentation or guidelines for any specific naming conventions that may apply to your project or organization.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DHANA_CDS_MODEL005 error and successfully activate your CDS view.
