  The SAP error message 37841, "Place the custom control on the dynpro," typically occurs when there is an issue with the placement or configuration of a custom control in a SAP Dynpro (dynamic program) screen. This error indicates that the system expects a custom control to be present on the screen, but it is either missing or not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Custom Control: The custom control that is expected to be on the screen is not actually placed on the Dynpro.
  Incorrect Configuration: The custom control may be incorrectly configured or not activated in the screen.
  Screen Layout Issues: There may be issues with the screen layout that prevent the custom control from being displayed.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Dynpro Layout:
  
  Open the screen in the Screen Painter (transaction SE80 or SE41).
  Verify that the custom control is indeed placed on the Dynpro.
