• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SY090 - Program & (&) no longer exists (was regenerated) ?

  The SAP error message SY090, which states "Program & (&) no longer exists (was regenerated)," typically occurs when a program that is being called or executed has been deleted or is no longer available in the system. This can happen for several reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Program Deletion: The program may have been deleted from the system by a user or during a transport process.
  Transport Issues: If the program was part of a transport request that failed or was not imported correctly, it may not exist in the target system.
  Regeneration: The program might have been regenerated, and the system is unable to find the previous version.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the program, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  Development Environment Changes: Changes in the development environment, such as moving from one system to another, can lead to discrepancies in program availability.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Program Existence: Verify if the program exists in the system by using transaction SE38 (ABAP Editor) or SE80 (Object Navigator). If it does not exist, you may need to restore it from a backup or re-create it.
  Transport Check: If the program was part of a transport request, check the transport logs to ensure that it was successfully imported into the target system.
  Regenerate the Program: If the program was regenerated, you may need to recompile or activate it in the ABAP Editor.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the program. You can check this with transaction SU53 to see if there are any authorization issues.
  Consult with Development Team: If you are not the developer, consult with your ABAP development team to understand if there were any recent changes to the program or if it was intentionally deleted.
