  • What causes this issue?

    Characteristic PPPI_OUTPUT_TEXT is used in the process instruction to
    define a text that is displayed before one or several output values in
    the PI sheet. The output values must be defined immediately after this
    characteristic using characteristic PPPI_OUTPUT_CHARACTERISTIC or
    PPPI_OUTPUT_VARIABLE.
    However, no output values are defined in the process instruction at
    this position.

    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 output values belonging to the text are contained in
    the process instruction.
    If the output values are contained in the process instruction, move
    characteristic PPPI_OUTPUT_TEXT to the position immediately before
    these values.
    Do so by changing the sort numbers of the characteristics.
    If the output values are not contained in the process instruction,
    insert them directly after characteristic PPPI_OUTPUT_TEXT.
    To do so, use the following characteristics:
    PPPI_OUTPUT_CHARACTERISTIC to display the value of a message
    characteristic
    PPPI_OUTPUT_VARIABLE to display the value of a variable
