What causes this issue?

background mode.

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?

When the program is executed in background mode, the magnetic files
will not be generated. All the results of the program will be saved in a
TemSe file instead. Hence, after the background job is finished, the
user can generate the mangetic files from the TemSe provided that no
errors exist in the error log of the results. Note that when the report
is executed in background mode, the name of the TemSe file, in which the
results will be saved, is required.
Note that, using online execution, the user can create magnetic files
directly without first saving results of the program to a TemSe. In
online execution, saving results to a TemSe is possible but is not
mandatory. To create magnetic files in online execution, first maintain
the notification date field, uncheck the 'Test mode' checkbox and supply
the names of the magnetic files . Note also that all results must be
error-free before any magnetic files can be created.
