• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/3FL_NEWS_CLASS035 - The first letter of global field symbols must be G ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/3FL_NEWS_CLASS035 indicates that there is an issue with the naming convention of global field symbols in your ABAP code. Specifically, the error states that the first letter of global field symbols must be "G". This is a part of the naming conventions enforced by the ABAP programming language to ensure clarity and maintainability of the code.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when a global field symbol is defined with a name that does not start with the letter "G". In ABAP, global field symbols are used to create dynamic references to data objects, and the naming convention helps distinguish them from local field symbols and other variables.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all global field symbols in your code start with the letter "G". Here are the steps to fix the issue:
  
  
  Identify the Field Symbol: Locate the line of code where the global field symbol is defined. It will typically look something like this:
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_example> TYPE any.
  
  
  Rename the Field Symbol: Change the name of the field symbol to start with "G". For example, if your field symbol is named <fs_example>, you can rename it to <g_example>:
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <g_example> TYPE any.
  
  
  Update References: Make sure to update all references to the renamed field symbol throughout your code to avoid any inconsistencies.
  
  
  Test the Code: After making the changes, test your code to ensure that it functions as expected and that the error message no longer appears.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Field Symbols: In ABAP, field symbols are used to create dynamic references to data objects. They are similar to pointers in other programming languages.
  Naming Conventions: Following naming conventions in ABAP is crucial for code readability and maintainability. Global variables, field symbols, and other identifiers have specific prefixes to indicate their scope and usage.
  ABAP Documentation: For more detailed information on field symbols and naming conventions, refer to the official SAP ABAP documentation or the ABAP programming guidelines.
  
  By adhering to these conventions and correcting the naming of your global field symbols, you should be able to resolve the error message and improve the quality of your ABAP code.
