• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFF_FORM_GENERATOR110 - Blank characters are not permitted in name &1 ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WFF_FORM_GENERATOR110 Blank characters are not permitted in name &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a name (such as a form name, variable name, or any identifier used in the workflow form generator) contains one or more blank spaces. SAP workflow form generator does not allow blank spaces in names because these names are used as identifiers in the system and must follow strict naming conventions.
  For example, if you try to create or reference a form or element with a name like "My Form" or "Variable 1", the system will throw this error because of the space character.
  
  Solution:
  
  Remove all blank spaces from the name causing the error.
  Use underscores (_) or camel case notation instead of spaces. For example:
  
  Instead of "My Form", use "MyForm" or "My_Form".
  Instead of "Variable 1", use "Variable1" or "Variable_1".
  
  
  Check the name fields in the workflow form generator or wherever the name is being entered and correct them accordingly.
  Validate all related names in the workflow or form to ensure none contain spaces.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is common in SAP Workflow Builder and SAP Business Workflow when designing or generating forms.
  Naming conventions in SAP generally disallow spaces and special characters in identifiers.
  Always follow SAP naming conventions for workflow elements, variables, and forms.
  If you are importing or copying forms or workflows from external sources, verify and clean up the names before importing.
  This error message is part of the workflow form generator validation checks to ensure system compatibility and avoid runtime issues.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  The error WFF_FORM_GENERATOR110 is caused by the presence of blank spaces in a name used in workflow form generation. The fix is to rename the element by removing spaces and using valid characters only.
