How To Fix EC226 - Status &1 has been assigned more than once

EC226 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EC - Development environment: Menu Painter

• Message number: 226

• Message text: Status &1 has been assigned more than once

What causes this issue?

The list displays three different error types:
Certain functions active in a particular status must be assigned to a
standard function key.
Certain functions can be assigned only to function keys, not to
pull-down menus.
All functions (except functions for which point 2 above applies) must
be assigned to a pull-down menu.
Error types 2 and 3 are status-independent. The function
<LS>Activate/deactivate functions</> only makes sense with reference to
a status. Therefore, it is supported only in the sub-list for error
type 1.

System Response
