How To Fix GS088 - Several fields from &2 are suitable for &1

GS088 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GS - Sets

• Message number: 088

• Message text: Several fields from &2 are suitable for &1

What causes this issue?

You are trying to use a set created for table field &V1& for table
table &V2&. However, table &V2& contains at least two fields that are
suitable for &V1&: &V3& and &V4&. The set cannot therefore be assigned
on a one-to-one basis to a field from table &V2&.

System Response

The set cannot be used.

How to fix this error?

Use a set that was created for a table field for which one suitable
field only exists in table &V2&. Whether or not the field is suitable
is determined by the <DS:DE.SETDTEL_D>representative data element</> of
the two table fields.
If table &V2& contains more than one suitable field, but one of these
fields has the same field name as the set field, this field is selected
for the set, and the set can be used for table &V2&.
