We extract from gauge theoretical calculations the matrix elements of the SYM dilatation operator. By the BMN correspondence this should coincide with the 3-string vertex of light cone string field theory in the pp-wave background. We find a mild but important discrepancy with the SFT results. If the modified $O(g_2)$ matrix elements are used, the $O(g_2^2)$ anomalous dimensions are exactly reproduced without the need for a contact interaction in the single string sector.
