Message text: Field name & already exists in dynpro
When you insert a block from temporary storage, the fields that have
names are transferred to the screen. If the screen already contains an
element with an identical name, the entire block cannot be inserted.
Delete the relevant element in the screen before inserting the block
from temporary storage. You cannot edit the contents of temporary
storage itself.

37161
- Field name & already exists in dynpro ?The SAP error message 37161, which states "Field name & already exists in dynpro," typically occurs during the development of SAP screens (dynpros) when there is a naming conflict with field names. This error indicates that the field name you are trying to define in the screen already exists in the same screen or in the same program.
Cause: Duplicate Field Names: The most common cause is that you are trying to create a field with a name that has already been defined in the same dynpro or in the same program. Field Name Scope: Field names in SAP dynpros must be unique within the same screen. If you have multiple screens or subscreens, the same field name can be reused, but within a single screen, it must be unique. Inclusion of Multiple Dynpros: If you are including multiple dynpros or subscreens, ensure that field names do not overlap.
Solution: Rename the Field: The simplest solution
