What causes this issue?

Characteristic PPPI_VARIABLE is used to define a variable that refers
to the value of a message characteristic. You must assign the message
characteristic to the process instruction immediately afterwards.
However in the process instruction, characteristic PPPI_VARIABLE is
followed by characteristic &V1& &V2&, which is no message
characteristic.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

RESET N1
Check whether the message characteristic to which the variable is to
refer is assigned to the process instruction.
If the message characteristic is included in the process instruction,
move characteristic PPPI_VARIABLE to the position directly before the
message characteristic.
To do so, change the sort numbers of the characteristics.
If the message characteristic is not included in the process
instruction, add it immediately after characteristic PPPI_VARIABLE.
