    You are creating return type &V1&.
    No attributes of the control data could be maintained for the return
    type.

    System Response

    The system hides the parameters since the programs automatically access
    the control data of return type '0001'.
    The maintenance of the parameter data for return type &V1& is required,
    but the same parameter data is proposed as in return type '0001'.

    You must create the control data for return type &V1&, however, no
    attributes of the control data must be defined (transfer type, period of
    time).
    The parameter data for return type &V1& must be maintained. The same
    entries are also maintained.
    The entries:
    Cancellation of automatic direct debit
    and clearing of reimbursement
    have to be maintained independently for the special advance payment.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
