L<function group name>U
L<function group name>$
L<function group name>T
L<function group name>C
L<function group name>V

System Response

You should observe the following for all other program names beginning
with <LB>L</>:
The correction system creates an entry R3TR FUGR (function group) in
table TADIR, if no entry already exists. However, an entry R3TR PROG
cannot be created either in TADIR or in the correction/transport
system. Programs beginning with <LB>L</> are automatically assigned to
a function group and transported at the same time.
An entry LIMU REPS is created in the correction/transport system. If
the program type is other than <ZH>I</> (Include) and other objects
apart from the program source code are to be transported, these must
sometimes be entered manually in the correction/transport system.

How to fix this error?

Specify another program name, if possible.
If you want to create a function group INCLUDE, use the Function
Builder. Choose <LS>Development -> Function Builder</> or use the
Repository Browser, Function Group objects.
