  The SAP error message "00372 Length error in dynpro data" typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the length of the data being processed and the expected length defined in the screen (dynpro) layout. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when data is being passed to a screen or when there are inconsistencies in the data definitions.
  Cause:
  
  Field Length Mismatch: The length of the data being passed to a screen field exceeds the defined length of that field in the dynpro.
  Incorrect Data Types: The data type of the variable being used does not match the expected data type in the dynpro.
  Screen Field Definition: Changes made to the screen layout (e.g., adding or modifying fields) without updating the associated ABAP code can lead to this error.

  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to trace the values being passed to the screen and identify where the length mismatch occurs.
  Check for Buffer Issues: If the issue persists, consider clearing the buffer or restarting the session to eliminate any temporary inconsistencies.
