define the corresponding import or changing parameter immediately
behind it using characteristic PPPI_IMPORT_PARAMETER or
PPPI_CHANGING_PARAMETER.
However, the parameter has not been defined at this place in the
process instruction.

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 parameter pertaining to the text is included in the
process instruction.
If the parameter exists, move characteristic PPPI_INPUT_REQUEST to the
position immediately before the parameter.
To do so, change the sort numbers of the characteristics.
If the parameter is not included in the process instruction, add it
immediately behind characteristic PPPI_INPUT_REQUEST.
Note
When assigning the parameter, you also have to define the variable that
is to be used for the parameter in the PI sheet. For more information,
