  The SAP error message R7063 indicates that a specific namespace (in this case, represented by &1) is not set to "changeable." This typically occurs when you are trying to make changes to objects within a namespace that is locked or restricted from modifications.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are attempting to create or modify an object (like a program, function module, or class) in a namespace that is not configured to allow changes.
  The namespace is set to "not changeable" in the system settings, which is often the case for standard SAP namespaces or certain customer namespaces that are locked for integrity reasons.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to change the settings of the namespace to make it "changeable." Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access Transaction SE06:
  
  Go to the SAP GUI and enter transaction code SE06.
  
  
  
  Navigate to Namespace Settings:
  
  In the SE06 screen, look for the option related to "Namespace" or "Changeability" settings.
  
  
  
  Find the Namespace:
  
  Locate the specific namespace that is causing the error (replace &1 with the actual namespace).
  
  
  
  Change the Setting:
  
  Change the setting of the namespace from "not changeable" to "changeable." This may involve selecting the namespace and adjusting its properties.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save your settings.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the namespace settings. If you do not have the required permissions, you may need to contact your SAP Basis administrator.
