How To Fix 69268 - No full screen. Can UNIX window be seen ? R/3 M/TEXT-Comm. initiated ?

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 69 - Central Functions of Financial Asset Management

• Message number: 268

• Message text: No full screen. Can UNIX window be seen ? R/3 M/TEXT-Comm. initiated ?

What causes this issue?

1. For interactive output, R/3 with WINDOWS Frontend must not be
executed in full-screen mode since WINDOWS is not a genuine
multitasking system. When R/3 is executed in full-screen mode a
deadlock is created since the R/3 screen waits for the end of M/TEXT
processing and M/TEXT waits for the user's entries. WINDOWS does not
allow you to switch between windows in this configuration.
2. R/3 M/TEXT communications program not started.

System Response

1. Endless wait.
2. Output unsuccessful.

How to fix this error?

1. The UNIX process must be stopped. To do this, the R/3 System
administrator <sid>adm must login and stop the M/TEXT process.
To avoid this situation, the M/TEXT output must not be carried out
in full-screen mode. There needs to be at least one other window in
the foreground so that the computer does not totally freeze. This
should be the UNIX window in which the R/3 M/TEXT communications
program runs.
2. Under UNIX, logon to the M/TEXT server and start the R/3 M/TEXT
communications program.
