This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with ABAP development or data container management.
  Cause:
  
  
  Naming Convention Violation: SAP has specific naming conventions for data container tables, which usually include:
  
  The table name must start with a specific prefix (e.g., /PM0/ for certain applications).
  The name must not exceed a certain length (usually 30 characters).
  The name must not contain special characters or spaces.
  The name must not conflict with existing SAP standard tables or reserved names.

  Solution:
  
  
  Rename the Table: Ensure that the table name follows the required naming conventions. You may need to rename the table to comply with the rules. For example, if the table name is Z_MY_TABLE, you might need to change it to something like /PM0/Z_MY_TABLE if it needs to follow the /PM0/ prefix.
  
  
  Check Naming Rules: Review the SAP documentation or guidelines regarding naming conventions for data container tables. Make sure that your table name adheres to these rules.
  
  
  Use Transaction SE11: If you are working in the ABAP Dictionary, you can use transaction SE11 to check the properties of the table and make necessary adjustments.
