• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYDEDFLST - Messages for Fictitious Run Control

• Message number: 003

• Message text: No fictitious run instance is available.

What causes this issue?

By calling function DFLST with parameter <LS>SETA</> or <LS>SETP</>, an
attribute or a parameter should be set for the current fictitious run.
However, there is no active fictitious run. This means that function
DFLST SETA or DFLST SETP has been called at the incorrect location in
the payroll schema.

System Response

The personnel number is rejected.

How to fix this error?

Check the payroll schema.
Function DFLST with parameter <LS>SETA</> or <LS>SETP</> is always
called based on the active fictitious run or the one that has just been
generated. It should take place immediately after generating the
fictitious run (therefore, after calling function DFLST ADD).

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