ABAP OO Naming Conventions

The document provides naming conventions for ABAP Objects including conventions for classes, interfaces, internal declarations like constants and types, instance and static attributes, method data, class and interface definitions, and parameters in class methods. Specific examples are given for project names like ZSDP_CL_COMPANY_CODE and naming patterns like SET_ for setter methods, ON_ for event handling methods, and check_ for check methods.
