How To Fix E2200 - & is generated and cannot be changed

E2200 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: E2 - DE Data Dictionary

• Message number: 200

• Message text: & is generated and cannot be changed

What causes this issue?

You tried to change an automatically generated object or to access it
in modification mode. It is not possible to change such objects because
such a change would jeopardize the consistency of the system. You can
generally recognize generated objects because the second or third
position of the name contains underscoring.
For example, the physically implemented IDs of a matchcode object
(update types A, S and P) are stored in pooled tables which are
assigned to a table pool. This table pool is automatically generated
when the first physically implemented ID of a matchcode object is
activated. Changing this table pool could therefore cause the matchcode
records to be stored incorrectly.

System Response

The automatically generated object cannot be changed.
