• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GU301 - Objects with leading numerals may not be created ?

  The SAP error message GU301 indicates that you are trying to create an object (such as a variable, field name, or other identifiers) that begins with a numeral. In SAP ABAP, object names cannot start with a number; they must begin with a letter (A-Z, a-z) or an underscore (_).
  
  Cause:
  
  The primary cause of this error is that the naming convention for SAP objects is being violated. SAP enforces specific rules for naming objects to ensure consistency and avoid conflicts.

  Identify the Object: Determine which object you are trying to create that is causing the error.
  Rename the Object: Change the name of the object to start with a letter or an underscore. For example:
