• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCRP_DYNPRO_UTIL_1013 - Change to interface for &1 not allowed. Action was terminated ?

  The SAP error message SCRP_DYNPRO_UTIL_1013 indicates that there is an issue with changing the interface of a screen (dynpro) in a program. This error typically occurs when you attempt to modify the interface of a screen that is not allowed due to various reasons, such as the screen being locked, the program being in a certain state, or the screen being part of a transport request.
  Causes:
  
  Screen Lock: The screen might be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  Transport Request: The program or screen might be part of a transport request that is currently being processed.
  Program State: The program might be in a state that does not allow changes to the interface (e.g., it is in a released state).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the screen interface.
  Technical Restrictions: Certain technical restrictions may apply to the screen or program, preventing modifications.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check if the screen is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who has the lock.
  Review Transport Requests: Check if the program or screen is part of an active transport request using transaction code SE09 or SE10. If it is, you may need to wait until the transport is completed.
  Check Program Status: Ensure that the program is not in a released state. You can check this in transaction SE80 or SE38. If it is released, you may need to create a new version or make changes in a development environment.
  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to modify the screen. You may need to contact your SAP security team if you lack the required permissions.
  Use a Different Approach: If the interface change is not allowed, consider whether you can achieve your goal through other means, such as modifying the logic of the program without changing the interface.
