• Message number: 094

• Message text: Inconsistencies in the definition of substitution &

What causes this issue?

The check of step &V3& for substitution &V1& is saved in the system as
rule &V2&. The data of this rule is not compatible with substitution
&V1&.

System Response

The code for the substitution was generated incorrectly. The
maintenance or deletion of substitution &V1& is not possible!

How to fix this error?

You have two possibilities:
You can attempt to restore data consistency for substitution &V1& with
the help of program <DS:REPN.RGUGBT10>RGUGBT10</> by selecting the
first option ("Correct Boolean class"). Afterwards you maintain the
substitution with the help of transaction <DS:TRAN.GGB1>GGB1</> and
attempt to save. If this does not work:
You can delete the substitution with the help of the same program
(<DS:REPN.RGUGBT10>RGUGBT10</>). Here you select the second option
("Delete substitution"). If the substitution is being used, this will
be displayed before the confirmation prompt. Before deleting you can
list the contents of the substitution (as long as the existing data
allows it) in transaction <DS:TRAN.GGB1>GGB1</> with the
"Substitution->Print" function.
