Message text: Choose an output device
You have to define an output device (required entry field).
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
We recommend specifying an output device in the user master record so
that you do not have to repeat the entry every time you start the
system.
To do so, use one of the following options:
(1) If you are currently in a correspondence program:
Choose the output device in the <ZK>Output Control</> tab page and then
flag @LX@ <ZK>Use Default Output Device</>.
(2) Change the setting in the user master record. The field is under the
<ZK>Defaults</> tab page in the <ZK>Spool Control</> area. Your changes
take effect the next time you log on:
<DS:TRAN.SU3>Change the user master record now</>.
Choose the menu path <ZK>System -> User Profile -> Own Data </>
You will find more information on defining the output device
<DS:DE.RECPTDDEST>here</>.
