  The SAP error message GG735 indicates that the name of a table group does not begin with 'Y' or 'Z'. In SAP, custom objects (like custom tables, programs, etc.) are typically prefixed with 'Y' or 'Z' to distinguish them from standard SAP objects.

  Cause:

  Check for Dependencies: If the table group is being used in other objects, ensure that you update those references as well.
  
  
  Transport Changes: If you are working in a development environment, make sure to transport your changes to the appropriate environments (e.g., QA, Production) as needed.
