  • Message number: 315

  • Message text: Text foreign key for table & is already defined:

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    There is usually only one text table for a check table.
    In this case, a text foreign key which already has more foreign keys
    was defined for a check table.
    The text tables which already exist are listed in the next log lines.

    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?

    Check whether this table or the listed text tables are really a text
    table for the check table.
    If several text tables were defined, this can result in problems if
    text for a table is automatically read.
    This is true for example for the possible values function and when
    generating maintenance views.
