  Cause:
  The error is usually triggered when there are function codes that have not been properly renamed or are still in use in the program or screen. This can happen in the following scenarios:
  
  You are trying to activate or transport a program or screen that contains function codes that are either duplicated or not properly defined.

  Identify Function Codes: Check the program or screen for all defined function codes. You can do this by navigating to the screen in the Screen Painter or by reviewing the program code.

  Check for References: After renaming, ensure that all references to the renamed function codes in the program or screen are updated accordingly. This includes any event handling or logic that relies on these function codes.
  
  
  Activate the Program/Screen: Once all function codes have been renamed and references updated, try to activate the program or screen again.
  
  
  Transport Changes: If you are working in a development environment and need to transport changes to a quality or production environment, ensure that all changes are included in the transport request.
