What causes this issue?

of a support package.

System Response

To avoid any inconsistencies when postings are made or reports are run,
the programs need to be generated again.

How to fix this error?

When you choose <LS>Continue</>, program <AB>RGZZGLUX</> is started,
which automatically generates the programs. This takes no longer than
three minutes. You can continue processing afterwards.
Program <AB>RGZZGLUX</> only generates internal structures (such as
<AB>GLU1</>) and programs. Running this program is uncritical; there are
no circumstances in which running this program can lead to database
inconsistencies.
If, however, problems should occur during generation, the system
provides details in the error messages issued. In such cases, contact
your system administrator.
