System Response

InfoObject &1 and InfoSet &2 may cause a master data error while
executing a query on this InfoSet. To execute a query on an InfoSet, it
may be necessary to read the master data of the involved InfoObjects. To
do this, a technical name is generated, consisting of the InfoSet name,
an InfoSet delimiter ("___"), and the InfoObject name. This technical
name must not exceed a maximum technical limitation set to 30
characters. This limitation is often almost reached when the InfoSet
and/or InfoObject names include namespaces.

How to fix this error?

In order to ensure that no master data query errors occur due to
technical limitations, either the InfoSet and/or the InfoObject names
need to be reduced<(>,<)> to avoid exceeding the technical limitation.
