RESET N1
Check whether the message characteristic to which the variable is to
refer is contained in the process instruction.
If the message characteristic is included in the process instruction,
move characteristic PPPI_VARIABLE to the position immediately before
the message characteristic.
To do so, change the sort numbers of the characteristics.
