• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TS050 - TemSe name & does not begin w/ an alphanumeric character or an underscore ?

  The SAP error message TS050 indicates that there is an issue with the naming convention of a TemSe (Temporary Sequential) object. Specifically, the error states that the name of the TemSe does not begin with an alphanumeric character or an underscore. This is a requirement for naming conventions in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The name of the TemSe object is either empty or starts with a character that is not allowed (e.g., a special character or a space).
  The naming convention for TemSe objects is not followed, which requires that names start with an alphanumeric character (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) or an underscore (_).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TS050 error, you should:
  
  Check the Name: Review the name of the TemSe object that is causing the error. Ensure that it is not empty and starts with a valid character (an alphanumeric character or an underscore).
  Rename the TemSe: If the name is invalid, rename the TemSe object to comply with the naming conventions. For example, if the name is #InvalidName, change it to ValidName or _ValidName.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SOST (for sending SAPconnect messages) or SP01 (for viewing TemSe objects) to manage and check the status of TemSe objects.
  Check for Spaces: Ensure there are no leading spaces in the name, as they can also trigger this error.
