• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message I4735 - Screen (&) is not defined ?

  The SAP error message I4735, which states "Screen (&) is not defined," typically occurs when the system is trying to access a screen that has not been defined in the program or module you are working with. This can happen for various reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Missing Screen Definition: The screen you are trying to access has not been created or defined in the SAP GUI.
  Incorrect Screen Number: The screen number being called in the program is incorrect or does not exist.
  Program Errors: There may be issues in the ABAP code that are causing the program to reference a non-existent screen.
  Transport Issues: If the program or screen was recently transported from another system, the transport may not have included the necessary screen definitions.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain screens.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Screen Definition: Verify that the screen number being referenced in the program is defined in the screen painter (SE80 or SE41). You can check this by navigating to the relevant program and looking for the screen in the screen list.
  
  
  Correct Screen Number: If the screen number is incorrect, update the program code to reference the correct screen number.
  
  
  Review ABAP Code: Look through the ABAP code for any logic that might be incorrectly referencing a screen. Ensure that the screen is being called correctly.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the screen. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints in the ABAP code to see where the error is being triggered and gather more context about the issue.
