  The SAP error message STB_WZ_WIZARD036 indicates that there is an attempt to create a table control with a name that already exists in the specified program. This typically occurs during the development of a screen or when using the Screen Painter or other tools to design user interfaces in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by:
  
  Attempting to create a new table control with a name that is already in use within the same program.
  Duplicate naming of UI elements, which is not allowed in the same context.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Table Controls:
  
  Open the program in the ABAP Workbench (SE80 or SE38).
  Navigate to the screen where you are trying to create the table control.
  Check the list of existing table controls to see if the name you are trying to use is already taken.
  
  
  
  Rename the Table Control:
  
  If you find that the table control name is already in use, consider renaming your new table control to a unique name that does not conflict with existing controls.
  
  
  
  Review the Program Code:
  
  If you are working with a custom program, review the code to ensure that there are no unintended duplications or conflicts in naming.
  
  
  
  Use Unique Naming Conventions:
  
  Implement a naming convention for your UI elements that ensures uniqueness, such as prefixing names with a project identifier or using descriptive names.
  
  
  
  Check for Includes:
  
  If your program includes other programs or function groups, check those as well to ensure that the name is not being used there.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE38 (ABAP Editor) to navigate and modify your programs.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation on screen programming and naming conventions for best practices.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the program to trace where the table control is being defined or instantiated.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the STB_WZ_WIZARD036 error and successfully create your table control without naming conflicts.
