How To Fix PO295 - Spool update: unexpected entries for format type &1 (&2)

PO295 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PO - Spooler message

• Message number: 295

• Message text: Spool update: unexpected entries for format type &1 (&2)

What causes this issue?

During the transfer of attribute information from a format implemented
by a device type, entries were found in the table TSP06 although the
initialisation action of this format does not exist. According to
convention this format is not implemented by this device type.

System Response

The existence of this format for the device type is not accepted into
the new table (TSP06A). This format is no longer available for this
device type.

How to fix this error?

Even in the old definition of format types such a format type was
undefined. The actions could, however, be maintained with the
transaction SPAD. This is no longer possible since the existence now
has to be checked.
If the format for the relevant device type is created using transaction
SPAD, the old data will be accessible. The attribute entry in the table
TSP06A is then updated automatically, so that the report RSPOXPRA does
not have to be run again.
