  Causes:
  
  Variable Not Defined: The variable being referenced has not been defined in the program or report.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the variable name, causing the system to not recognize it.
  Scope Issues: The variable might be defined in a different scope or context that is not accessible at the point where it is being referenced.

  Check Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or missing objects that could affect the program.
