• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDD - Message class for data manager

• Message number: 720

• Message text: &2 table: block characteristic &3, number of blocks: &4

What causes this issue?

The number of records in the &V2&- table of the source is larger than
the parameter BLOCKSIZE in table RSADMINC. For this reason, aggregates
must be constructed block by block. To do so, a characteristic with
sufficient values is selected from the aggregate or the source. These
values are then distributed into blocks. Read and write access then
always takes place on an individual block level.
Block characteristic: &V3&.
Number of blocks: &V4&
Note: If the selected block characteristic has a very uneven data
distribution, it may be that the blocks are larger than specified by the
BLOCKSIZE parameter.
