The message states that the invalid name due to spaces should not be condensed, which means that the system is encountering a name that contains spaces where it expects a valid identifier without spaces.
  Cause:
  
  Spaces in Object Names: The most common cause of this error is that the name of an object (like a field, table, or other identifiers) contains spaces. SAP has strict naming conventions, and spaces are not allowed in many contexts.
  Incorrect Configuration: This error can also occur if there is a misconfiguration in the system where an object is being referenced incorrectly, leading to the inclusion of spaces in the name.
  Data Input Issues: If data is being inputted from an external source or through a user interface, it may inadvertently include spaces.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Names: Review the names of the objects involved in the operation that triggered the error. Ensure that there are no spaces in the names. This includes checking for leading, trailing, or multiple spaces between words.
  Modify Naming Conventions: If you find any object names with spaces, rename them to conform to SAP's naming conventions. Use underscores or camel case instead of spaces.
  Review Configuration: If the error is related to a configuration setting, check the relevant configuration in the SAP system to ensure that it does not reference any objects with invalid names.
  Data Validation: If the error arises from user input or data import, implement validation checks to ensure that no spaces are included in the names before they are processed by the system.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the relevant code or process to identify where the invalid name is being generated.
