  The SAP error message 37026, which states "The dynpro &1 &2 is protected; see the long text for more information," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify or interact with a screen (dynpro) that is set to be protected. This means that the screen is not available for input or changes due to certain conditions or settings.
  Cause:
  
  Screen Protection: The screen may be protected due to the program logic, which prevents user input. This is often done to ensure data integrity or to control the flow of the application.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to interact with the screen.
  Transaction State: The transaction may be in a state where it is not allowed to make changes (e.g., in display mode).
  Custom Code: Custom enhancements or modifications in the ABAP code may have set the screen to be protected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Program Logic: Review the ABAP code associated with the dynpro to see if there are any conditions that set the screen to protected. Look for statements like SET SCREEN or CALL SCREEN that may be controlling the screen's behavior.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the screen. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  Transaction Mode: Verify if the transaction is in display mode. If it is, switch to the appropriate mode that allows for input.
  Debugging: If you have access, use the debugger to step through the code and identify where the screen protection is being set.
  Consult Documentation: Check the long text of the error message for additional context or specific instructions related to the error.
