  SAP Error Message: WZ089 Program &1 does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to call or execute an ABAP program (report, module pool, or executable program) that does not exist in the SAP system. The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the name of the program that the system attempted to access but could not find.

  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Program Name:
  
  Check the program name displayed in the error message.
  Use transaction SE38 or SE80 to search for the program.
  Confirm if the program exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Correct the Program Name:
  
  If the program name is incorrect in the calling code or configuration, correct it.
