Message type: E = Error
Message class: MC - Aggregate: views, matchcodes, lock objects
Message number: 230
Message text: Key field &1-&2 missing
Matchcode IDs of update type S (matchcode data update synchronous to
database changes, implementation as a separate table in addition to the
master tables) should contain all the key fields of the base tables,
i.e. the primary and secondary tables of the corresponding matchcode
object. Otherwise duplicate records could occur
in the matchcode when changes are made to the database.
This is a warning. The system continues.
If the key fields contained in the matchcode ID still uniquely identify
each data record, no action is necessary. If this is not the
case, you should include the missing key fields in the matchcode ID in
order to avoid duplicate records.
