  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Variables:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing or RSC1 for InfoObjects) and check if the variable already exists.
  If it does, you can either modify the existing variable or choose a different name for the new variable you are trying to create.

  Alternatively, you can modify the existing variable to meet your requirements.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the error occurs during a transport process, ensure that the transport request does not contain duplicate variable definitions. You may need to adjust the transport request to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on variable naming conventions and management.
