    The process instruction is of type "dynamic function call".
    Characteristic PPPI_INPUT_REQUEST is used to define a text that is
    displayed in the PI sheet in front of the imported value. You must
    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,
