  The SAP error message FRMLDLG235 indicates that there was a synchronization failure when calling a function module. This error typically occurs in the context of using function modules in SAP, particularly when there are issues with the data being processed or the environment in which the function module is executed.
  Causes:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The data being passed to the function module may be inconsistent or invalid, leading to synchronization issues.
  Lock Issues: There may be locks on the data being accessed by the function module, preventing it from executing properly.
