• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R1501 - Do not specify any coordinates for the dynpro type "Normal" ?

  The SAP error message R1501, which states "Do not specify any coordinates for the dynpro type 'Normal'," typically occurs when you are working with screen programming in SAP ABAP and you are trying to define a screen (dynpro) that is of type "Normal" but have incorrectly specified coordinates for the screen elements.
  Cause:
  The error arises because:
  
  In SAP, a "Normal" dynpro is designed to be displayed in a standard way without specific positioning of elements. When you define a screen as "Normal," you should not specify coordinates (like X and Y positions) for the screen fields or elements.
  Specifying coordinates is only allowed for "Subscreen" or "Modal" dynpros, where precise positioning is necessary.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the Screen Attributes: Open the screen in the Screen Painter (transaction SE80 or SE41) and verify that the screen type is set to "Normal."
  Remove Coordinates: Go through the elements on the screen and ensure that no coordinates are specified for any of the fields or elements. This includes checking the properties of each field and ensuring that the "X" and "Y" position fields are left blank or set to default values.
  Recheck the Layout: If you need specific positioning, consider changing the screen type to "Subscreen" or "Modal" if that fits your design requirements.
