• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XO_COCKPIT036 - New name & is in the SAP namespace; renaming not possible ?

  The SAP error message XO_COCKPIT036 indicates that you are trying to rename an object (such as a program, function module, or class) to a name that is already in use within the SAP namespace. In SAP, certain namespaces are reserved for specific purposes, and renaming an object to a name that is already taken or reserved is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Name Conflict: The name you are trying to assign to the object is already in use by another object in the SAP namespace.
  Reserved Names: The name may belong to a reserved namespace (like SAP's standard namespace) where user-defined objects cannot be created or renamed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Choose a Different Name: The simplest solution is to select a different name for your object that does not conflict with existing names in the SAP namespace.
  Check Existing Objects: Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for existing objects with the name you are trying to use. This will help you identify conflicts.
  Namespace Consideration: If you are working in a custom namespace (like Z or Y), ensure that the name you are trying to use is unique within that namespace.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about naming conventions or reserved names, refer to SAP documentation or guidelines for naming objects.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Namespaces: SAP uses different namespaces to organize objects. The standard namespace is reserved for SAP's own objects, while custom namespaces (usually starting with Z or Y) are available for customer-specific developments.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), and SE37 (Function Modules) to manage and search for objects effectively.
  Development Guidelines: Follow SAP's development guidelines for naming conventions to avoid conflicts and ensure clarity in your development work.
