E2175 - Details

• The SAP error message E2175 ("Initial value not permitted as field name") typically occurs when you are trying to use an empty or initial value as a field name in a data structure or a database table. This can happen in various contexts, such as when defining a structure, creating a table, or working with internal tables in ABAP.
  
  Cause:
  
  Empty Field Name: The most common cause is that a field name is being defined or referenced without a valid name, which is not allowed in SAP.
  Dynamic Field Names: If you are using dynamic field names (e.g., using ASSIGN or FIELD-SYMBOLS), and the variable holding the field name is empty, this error can occur.
  Incorrect Data Declaration: If you are trying to declare a field in a structure or table with an initial value, it may lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Names: Ensure that all field names in your data declarations are valid
