• Message number: 748

• Message text: Code group cannot be used to restrict the hit list

What causes this issue?

The range for the combined catalog type and code group field on the
selection screen for the analysis cannot be used as a selection
criteria for structuring the notification list.

System Response

You have entered the range <(>&<)>v1& - <(>&<)>v2& as the filter value
for the combined catalog type and code group field. When selecting the
notification list, you cannot restrict your selection using the range
for the code group <(>&<)>v3& - <(>&<)>v4<(>&<)>.
All notifications with items for catalog type <(>&<)>v1& - <(>&<)>v2
<(>&<)> are displayed. The list can therefore contain notifications
that do not match the selection criteria.

How to fix this error?

The list content of the notifications matches the content of the
standard analysis for the following selection criteria:
Range contains only one catalog type (for example, '9F-100' -
'9F-900').
The code group has a generic entry for the range (such as '1*' - 'Z*').

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
