• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W3004 - Specify a name for the object ?

  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.
  This message ensures that objects are not created anonymously, which would cause inconsistencies or errors in the repository.
  
  
  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.
  Avoid special characters or spaces.
  Use uppercase letters (SAP standard).
  For custom objects, use namespaces or prefixes (e.g., Z or Y) to avoid conflicts with SAP standard objects.
  
  
  After entering a valid name, save or continue with the operation.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W), not an error, so it may allow you to continue after specifying the name.
  Naming conventions and restrictions may vary depending on the object type (program, table, function module, etc.).
  If you are unsure about the naming rules for a specific object type, refer to SAP documentation or your organization's naming standards.
  Consistent and meaningful naming helps in maintenance, transport, and collaboration.
