  • What causes this issue?

    You have used a copy reference for <GL:functional_location>functional
    locations</> or <GL:reference_functional_location>reference functional
    locations</> to create a new location structure, or you have renamed
    directly a location structure in the entry list.
    The former location label could not be converted into the new one in
    &V1& case(s).
    The first location label that could not be converted was &V2&.

    System Response

    The locations concerned were not copied or renamed.

    How to fix this error?

    Check your labeling system, taking into consideration the procedure
    used in the system. This is illustrated by the example of copying a
    location structure:
    If the same structure indicator is used in both the old and the new
    location structures, and if the labels of both the uppermost locations
    are of the same length, the former location label is simply exchanged
    as a generic naming element for the label of the new uppermost
    location.
    Otherwise, after the former generic naming element has been removed,
    the remaining characters are added in block form at the end of the new
    generic naming element. In this way, the same copy reference can be
    used at different levels in the new location structure. However, it may
    be necessary to adapt changed block lengths in the <DS:DE.EDITM>edit
    mask</> of the new structure indicator:
    Lengthening blocks
    If the block contains purely numbers, and only numbers are authorized
    in the block concerned in the new edit mask, then the number is copied
    with right alignment and the left side of the block is filled with
    leading zeros. Otherwise the digits are copied with left alignment.
    Shortening blocks
    If the block contains purely numbers and enough leading zeros, then
    these are removed if required. If the block does not just contain
    numbers, the leading blank spaces are removed. If the content of a
    block can not be sufficiently shortened by the system, the location
    label cannot be converted.
