What causes this issue?

The archiving standard stipulates that the reload program must be able
to create a new run. All the data that cannot be reloaded is written to
this delta archive.
The <LS>ARCHIVE_WRITE_HANDLE</> parameter was not filled when you called
the <LS>ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_MOVE</> function module. This means that the
system cannot generate a delta archive.

How to fix this error?

INCLUDE ARCH_STNDRD_CHECK_WHATODO_1 OBJECT DOKU ID TX

Procedure for System Administrators

Note for the developer of the archiving object: Fill the above mentioned
parameter and use this to write all the data that could not be reloaded
to a new archive.
Note: Reload programs are correction programs that do not generally
belong in the standard delivery of new archiving solutions. Therefore,
check whether you can use archive read accesses instead of a reload
program.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
