Message text: Generic buffering & (at least 2 key fields necessary)
You chose generic buffering for a table which contains only one key

primary key). Generic buffering is therefore only meaningful if the
table has at least two key fields.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
Generic buffering is not possible. Please select either full buffering
or single-record buffering.
