name and the variant that you have entered when you saved the job. The
system-created job name is <NP><Program name>/<Variant></>.
Now you have changed the program or variant. However, the job name, once
created, will not change. The job name is now misleading.

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?

Consider deleting the task and creating a new job with the updated
program or variant. To prevent this problem from happening again, always
manually enter a name when you save a job.
