  • Message number: 256

  • Message text: Text &1 does not exist in the target system

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The text is to be deleted from the target system. This is controlled by
    the update indicator (D = delete) in the transfer structure. However,
    the text cannot be deleted if it does not exist in the target system.

    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 does not exist in the target system, it cannot be
    deleted.
    If you want to delete the entire recipe, you only need to set the value
    of the update indicator in the structure of the general recipe to "D"
    (= delete). You do not need to set the update indicator in the
    lower-level structures.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMSRCP256 - Text &1 does not exist in the target system ?

    The SAP error message RMSRCP256, which states "Text &1 does not exist in the target system," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Remote Function Call (RFC) or when dealing with text elements that are expected to be present in the target system but are missing. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during data transfer, system integration, or when executing certain functions that rely on text elements.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Text Elements: The specific text element (denoted by &1) is not defined in the target system. This could be a missing translation, a missing text object, or a missing entry in a text table.
    2. Configuration Issues: The target system may not be properly configured to include the necessary texts or translations.
    3. Transport Issues: If the text elements were supposed to be transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the transport might not have included the necessary text objects.
    4. Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the source and target systems, leading to discrepancies in available texts.

    Solution:

    1. Check Text Elements: Verify that the text element referenced by &1 exists in the target system. You can do this by checking the relevant text tables or using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE78 (SAPScript Forms).
    2. Transport Missing Texts: If the text is missing due to a transport issue, ensure that the relevant transport requests are created and released properly. You may need to re-transport the missing texts.
    3. Maintain Texts: If the text is not available, you may need to create or maintain the missing text in the target system. This can be done using transaction SE63 for translations or SE78 for SAPscript forms.
    4. Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the target system to ensure that it is set up to handle the required texts.
    5. Consult Documentation: If the text is part of a specific SAP module or application, consult the relevant SAP documentation or support notes for guidance on how to resolve the issue.

    Related Information:
