• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP115 - Enter a program name ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP115 - Enter a program name
  
  Cause:
  This message appears when you are trying to execute or process a Web Dynpro application or component, and the system requires you to specify the ABAP program name but it has not been provided. Essentially, the program name field is empty or missing, and the system cannot proceed without it.
  This often happens in scenarios such as:  
  
  When creating or testing Web Dynpro applications/components and the program name is mandatory but not entered.  
  When calling a Web Dynpro application from a transaction or report and the program name parameter is missing.  
  During configuration or runtime when the system expects a program name to identify the executable object.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Program Name:
  
  Provide the correct ABAP program name in the input field where the system expects it. This is usually the name of the Web Dynpro application or the executable program you want to run.
  
  
  Check the Context:
  
  Make sure you are in the correct screen or transaction where the program name is required. Sometimes the field might be hidden or not obvious; check the screen carefully.
  
  
  Verify Program Existence:
  
  Ensure that the program name you enter actually exists in the system and is active.
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Configuration:
  
  If this error occurs during a custom development or configuration, verify that the program name is correctly passed as a parameter or maintained in the configuration.
  
  
  Use Transaction SE80 or SE38:
  
  To find or verify the program name, use SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE38 (ABAP Editor) to search for the relevant Web Dynpro application or program.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Web Dynpro Applications:
  
  Web Dynpro applications are often linked to ABAP programs that serve as entry points. The program name is essential for the system to know which executable to run.
  
  
  Parameter Passing:
  
  When calling Web Dynpro applications programmatically, the program name is often passed as a parameter. Missing this parameter leads to WXP115.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  If the problem persists, check SAP Notes related to Web Dynpro errors or consult SAP Help Portal for Web Dynpro application development guidelines.
  
  
  Transaction WDY_CHECK:
  
  You can use transaction WDY_CHECK to check Web Dynpro applications and components for consistency, which might help identify missing program names or other issues.
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Program name not entered where required.  
  Solution: Enter the correct ABAP program name.  
  Check: Program existence, parameter passing, and configuration.  
  Tools: SE80, SE38, WDY_CHECK for verification.
