• Message text: Name &1 is already reserved by a type group in &2 (see documentation)

What causes this issue?

You wish to create a Dictionary object in a namespace that is already
taken by a type group.
The type group &V1 exists globally in the SAP System &V2.
Within a type group you can define any number of types whose names are
based on the names of the type group, an underscore line, and the type
name.
There is the danger that a type defined in the type group matches the
name of the object you have created. This causes the following problems:
The name collision between a type defined in a type group and a
Dictionary object causes a syntax error in the type group and all
dependent objects (programs, classes, and so on).
After a transport of both (defined in different systems) Dictionary
objects into a common system, the type group and all dependent objects
will be syntactically incorrect.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Choose a different name for the new Dictionary object.
