• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RMSRCP - RMS-RCP: Messages for IPPE Object RCP

• Message number: 255

• Message text: Text &1 already exists in the target system

What causes this issue?

The text is to be created in the target system. This is controlled by
the update indicator (I = insert) in the transfer structure. If this
text already exists in the target system, the data is not transferred
from the transfer structure.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Since the text already exists in the target system, you can only
perform the distribution in update mode.
To do so, you only need to change the value of the update indicator in
the structure of the general recipe to "U" (= update). You do not need
to set the update indicator in the lower-level structures.
