• The SAP error message EA271, which states "Name '&' does not correspond to naming convention," typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify an object (like a variable, function, or class) in SAP that does not adhere to the naming conventions defined in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as ABAP programming, data dictionary objects, or other development environments within SAP.

  Characters: The name may contain invalid characters. SAP naming conventions typically allow only alphanumeric characters and underscores.
  Prefix/Suffix: Certain object types may require specific prefixes or suffixes (e.g., Z or Y for custom objects).
  Reserved Names: The name may conflict with reserved keywords or existing objects in the system.
