• Message number: 111

• Message text: Dynpro element does not have a name

What causes this issue?

A screen element has not been assigned a name.

System Response

A screen element is generally identified by its name at the runtime of
the screen. If the name is missing, the system normally issues a syntax
error message. As a result, the screen cannot be activated and
executed.
The only fields for which names are not mandatory are the OK code field
and text fields. However, since the text of an unnamed text field
cannot be translated, you should assign a name to all text fields that
do not only consist of untranslatable special characters. The Screen
Painter automatically assigns a name of the form %#AUTOTEXTijk to such
text fields.

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
