  The SAP error message 33226, which states "Message &1(&2) does not yet exist in language &3," typically indicates that a specific message or text that the system is trying to display is not available in the specified language. This can occur in various contexts, such as during the execution of a program, transaction, or report where the system attempts to retrieve a message that has not been translated or defined for the selected language.
  Cause:

  Incorrect Language Settings: The user’s language settings may be set to a language for which the message has not been defined.

  Change User Language:
  
  If the message is not critical, you can change your user settings to a language for which the message is available. This can be done in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) by changing the logon language.
