    SAP Error Message:

    VO736 - Text element & from text pool for program & not found


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the SAP system tries to access a text element (such as a message text, screen text, or any other text object) identified by a specific name or number in the text pool of a particular program, but it cannot find it.

    • The text element with the specified name or number does not exist in the text pool of the program.
    • The program or object might be calling a text element that was deleted or never created.
    • There could be a mismatch in the program name or text element identifier.
    • The text pool might be corrupted or not properly transported.

    Explanation:

    • Text Pool: In SAP ABAP, text elements are stored in a text pool associated with a program or function group. These text elements include messages, screen texts, and other user interface texts.
    • When a program tries to read a text element using a function like READ_TEXT or when a message is triggered that references a text element, SAP looks up the text pool.
    • If the text element is missing, SAP raises the VO736 error.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Text Element in the Program:

      • Go to the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80).
      • Open the program mentioned in the error message.
      • Navigate to the text elements (Menu: Goto ? Text Elements ? Messages or Text Symbols).
      • Verify if the text element with the specified name or number exists.
    2. Create or Restore the Missing Text Element:

      • If the text element is missing, create it with the appropriate text.
      • If it was accidentally deleted, restore it from a backup or transport request.
    3. Check the Program Name:

      • Ensure that the program name referenced in the error message is correct.
      • Sometimes, the wrong program name is passed dynamically, causing the system to look in the wrong text pool.
    4. Check for Transport or System Issues:

      • If the program was recently transported, verify that the transport included the text elements.
      • Re-import the transport if necessary.
    5. Debugging:

      • Use the ABAP debugger to check where the text element is being called.
      • Check the parameters passed to the text retrieval function.
    6. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to VO736 for any known issues or patches.
      • If the problem persists, consider raising a support ticket with SAP.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SE38 / SE80: For editing programs and text elements.
    • Text Elements: Messages, Text Symbols, Screen Titles, etc.
    • Function Modules: READ_TEXT, MESSAGE statement usage.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Service Marketplace for notes related to VO736.
    • Common Scenarios:
      • Custom programs calling standard SAP text elements incorrectly.
      • Transport issues causing missing text elements.
      • Dynamic program calls with incorrect program names.

    If you provide the exact program name and text element identifier from the error message, I can help you with more specific instructions.
