• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 37115 - Table dynpro & & already exists ?

  The SAP error message 37115, which states "Table dynpro & & already exists," typically occurs when there is an attempt to create a screen (dynpro) that already exists in the system. This can happen during the development of a new screen or when trying to activate a program that references a screen that has already been defined.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Screen Definition: The most common cause is that a screen with the same number and program name already exists in the system.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting objects between systems (e.g., from development to quality assurance), there may be conflicts if the same screen is already present in the target system.
  Development Errors: Sometimes, during the development process, a developer might inadvertently create a screen with the same identifier.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Screens: 
  
  Use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the screen already exists. Look for the program and screen number in question.
  If it exists, you may need to modify the existing screen instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Rename the Screen: 
  
  If you need to create a new screen, consider renaming it to a unique identifier that does not conflict with existing screens.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  If the issue arises during a transport, ensure that the target system does not already have the screen. You may need to adjust your transport requests or delete the existing screen if it is not needed.
  
  
  
  Delete Unused Screens: 
  
  If you find that there are obsolete or unused screens, you can delete them (if you have the necessary authorizations) to free up the screen number for new use.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Versions: 
  
  Ensure that there are no active versions of the screen that might be causing the conflict. You can check this in the screen painter.
