This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) when dealing with long texts associated with various objects, such as maintenance orders, notifications, or equipment.

  Review Long Text Entries:
  
  Use transaction codes like SO10 (for standard texts) or SE78 (for long texts) to check the long text entries. Ensure that the long text key you are trying to use exists and is correctly associated with the expected long text type.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
