• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 37169 - Specify a dynpro name ?

  The SAP error message "37169: Specify a dynpro name" typically occurs when there is an issue related to the screen (dynpro) in an ABAP program or transaction. This error indicates that the system expects a specific screen name to be provided, but it has not been specified.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Dynpro Name: The most common cause is that the program or transaction is trying to call a screen (dynpro) without specifying its name.
  Incorrect Program Logic: There may be a logical error in the ABAP code where the screen name is not being set or passed correctly.
  Dynamic Screen Navigation: If the program is designed to navigate dynamically between screens, it may not have the correct logic to determine which screen to call.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Code: Review the ABAP code where the screen is being called. Ensure that the screen name is correctly specified in the CALL SCREEN statement.
  CALL SCREEN <screen_number>.
  Make sure <screen_number> is defined and valid.
  
  
  Define the Screen: If the screen is not defined, you may need to create it in the Screen Painter (SE80 or SE41) and ensure it is properly linked to the program.
  
  
  Debugging: Use the debugger to trace the execution of the program and identify where the screen name is supposed to be set. Look for any conditional logic that might prevent the screen name from being assigned.
  
  
  Check for Dynamic Calls: If the program uses dynamic calls to screens, ensure that the logic for determining the screen name is correct and that it is not resulting in an empty or null value.
  
  
  Review Transaction Codes: If this error occurs when executing a transaction, ensure that the transaction code is correctly linked to the program and that the program has the necessary screens defined.
  
  
  Related Information:
