  The SAP error message SWB_TODO_CHECKS123 indicates that there is an issue with a Dynpro (dynamic program) element in your SAP application. Specifically, the error message states that the type from the dictionary is not permitted in Dynpros. This typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the data type defined in the ABAP Dictionary and the type that is allowed for use in a Dynpro screen.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Data Type: The data type of the field in the ABAP Dictionary (Data Element or Domain) is not compatible with the Dynpro. For example, certain complex types or structures may not be allowed in screen fields.
  Field Attributes: The field may have attributes that are not supported in Dynpro, such as certain lengths or formats.
  Screen Field Definition: The field might be defined incorrectly in the screen painter or might not be defined at all.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Type: Review the data type of the field in the ABAP Dictionary. Ensure that it is a simple type (like CHAR, NUMC, DATS, etc.) that is compatible with Dynpros.
  Modify Field Definition: If the field is defined as a complex type or structure, consider changing it to a simpler type that is compatible with Dynpros.
  Adjust Screen Field: Open the screen in the Screen Painter and check the properties of the field. Ensure that the field is correctly defined and that it matches the expected data type.
  Recreate the Field: If necessary, delete the problematic field from the screen and recreate it, ensuring that you select a compatible data type.
  Check for Updates: If you are using a custom or third-party component, ensure that it is up to date and compatible with your version of SAP.
