    SAP Error Message:
    W3004 - Specify a name for the object
    
    
    Cause: This warning message appears when you attempt to create or save an object (such as a program, function module, table, or other repository object) without specifying a name. SAP requires every object to have a unique identifier (name) to be stored and managed properly in the system. Explanation: The system expects a valid name for the object you are creating or modifying. If the name field is left blank or contains invalid characters, the system issues this warning.

    Solution: Specify a valid name for the object in the relevant input field. Ensure the name follows SAP naming conventions: Typically, names should start with a letter.
