How To Fix KE768 - Table "&1" is not empty

KE768 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KE -

• Message number: 768

• Message text: Table "&1" is not empty

What causes this issue?

The data should be written to table "&V1&". However, this table already
contains data records.

System Response

The program needs to write to an empty table. Table "&V1&", however,
contains data. This means that adding new data could overwrite existing
data. The program terminates so as to avoid creating inconsistencies in
your data.

How to fix this error?

Check whether you ran the program in the right context.
In some cases, user entries can affect the selection of the table to
which the data is to be written. You should therefore check the
parameter values that you entered when you started the program.

Procedure for System Administrators

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