Documentation
Definition
Namespaces are identifiers assigned exclusively by SAP, which enable SAP customers, SAP partners and SAP itself to develop SAP components and products on the basis of SAP applications without the risk of name clashes (when delivering to external SAP Systems or importing external products into internal systems).
Objects in the ABAP Workbench are assigned to a namespace by placing the reserved namespace prefix in front of the object name. The namespace identifier begins and ends with a "/" (delimiter) and can be at most 10 characters long.
Example
For the namespace /EXAMPLE/ you can create a program with the name /EXAMPLE/PROGRAM.
To enable developments in a namespace you must enter the internal namespace identifier reserved at SAP and the development license key for the desired development system by choosing Organizer tools ->Administration->Display/Change Namespaces.
