How To Fix SMARTFORMS221 - Name & is invalid

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SMARTFORMS - Smart Forms - Form Builder

• Message number: 221

• Message text: Name & is invalid

What causes this issue?

The name of a subobject within a Smart Form can only consist of
letters, digits, and underscores (_). The first character has to be a
letter.
As a special case, a percentage sign (%) is also permitted as the first
character. A percentage sign is used to automatically generate names.
You should therefore not use a percentage sign for your own name.
