Program naming convention 'do not use special character'

[Nirojan]

Hi Team,

I'm trying to create ztest===001 program I'm getting special characters error.

but I saw in R3 system there is a program called AQ0102===* program. Can someone explain naming convention for ABAP program (se38) and why standard program having special character?

Thanks,

Nirojan.

This is generated programs made by Class, by Function module.

Thanks for your quick replay. Could you please tell me how to find the which class or FM this program used?

I tried where-used list it's not found.

Just open this program in your SE38, if you see the transaction change to SE24 or SE37 you will know the object type used.

Otherwise, it could be an include for a function group or somehting like that

For AQ... program it could be a query (also a generated code) from SQVI or SQ01 / SQ02 transaciton

This comment just to confirm that the convention for SAPQuery-generated program names is:

         1         2         3
1   5    0    5    0    5    0
AQ??<--group12-><---query14-->

• ?? : standard (client number where the SAPQuery applies) or global (cross-client)

mandant   ??
--------- ------- 
000 - 099 00 - 99 
100 - 109 A0 - A9
110 - 135 AA - AZ
136 - 145 B0 - B9
...

• ?? is ZZ for global
• group12 : user group name
• query14 : query name

Also look with SE80 or SE38 at the attributes of these generated programs (e.g. AQ*), you should not find any package, so you should not see any entry in Directory of Repository Objects either (try a Goto. Object Directory Repository)

Only the actual main object (e.g. query, class, method, SmartForms, Customizing, etc.) should be allowed to have such an entry, not the generated program. The transport of the main object will generate the program in target system, and in some case with another name.

(Also read the online help.)
