What causes this issue?

This message is only intended for the test and transition phase between
Releases 3.0 and 4.0. It can be activated or deactivated on a
user-specific basis via table T160M. If 'W' or 'E' is specified, a
warning message is issued.
As of Release 4.0, in the standard system the print-relevant data is
activated as soon as the message is outputted. Therefore, the
conditions that lead to the updating of the print-dependent data from
other programs are never likely to be fulfilled. However, should this
nevertheless be the case (due to incomplete Customizing or temporary
inconsistencies), you can draw attention to this situation by means of
this message.

System Response
