Hi all,

Can one create an ABAP program starting with numbers or letters other than "Y or Z"? Or is it mandatory for an ABAP developer to write all programs with names starting with either Y or Z?

Thanks & Regards

Hint: Perform some search on "Namespace" in online help, service.sap.com or scn.sap.com

Z and Y are default namespaces allowed for customers (also SAPLZ, SAPMZ, etc.) - There is a reference note: 16466 - Customer name range for SAP objects -  You can also reserve a Development Namespace thru service.com (depending on your license) which would look like /MYDOMAIN/

Other namespace are reserved for SAP and some partners and will require a SSCR Key as if you were modifying a standard object.

Regards,

Raymond
