You selected the characteristic for partner in the current report
without selecting the characteristic for the partner function. This is

System Response

The report is not executed.

How to fix this error?

Select the characteristic for partner function in the report.
However, it is also important to remember that the partner function
also has to be specified as unique. Therefore, you should make sure
that the partner function was already specified in the report (using
'limit characteristics') or can be entered on the selection screen (by
defining a variable for this characteristic). If the second of these is
the case (the partner function can be entered on the selection screen)
then you have to enter the partner function on the report selection
screen in order to avoid errors when the report is run.
