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?

Instead, an XPRA based on program RMCSBWXP for extract structure &V1&
and communication structure &V2& should be created.
The MCS parameter should be set to 'BW' (only) when changing extract
structures that have not yet been shipped. These extract structures
must be generated via DDIC, not via an XPRA in the target system.
