Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the naming conventions for user-defined objects to avoid name conflicts with SAP namespace in upgrades. Customers should use prefixes 'Y' or 'Z' for custom objects. As of Release 4.0, name length limits for certain object types have been revised. Additionally, naming for third-party distribution involves prefix namespaces introduced in Release 4.0 and partner projects from Release 3.x. Adhering to these conventions is crucial during upgrades to prevent potential issues like overwrites of custom objects. Specific guidelines for various object types and their naming formats are detailed for enforcement from specific releases.

Key words :
0a  table index sap table, -pool/cluster tables additional max, 1ascreen number sap prog, tables/fields/indices/structures, 0c  user exit funct, module pool update task, module pool info type, upgrade overwrites customer objects, table field sap table, user exit funct
