• Message number: 258

• Message text: View &1 in cluster &2 has a forbidden language field &3 in its key

What causes this issue?

View cluster &V2& definition error: Forbidden language field in key of
view &V1&.
<ZH>Background:</>
If an entity table with its text table is part of a view for which a
maintenance dialog is generated, the view maintenance transaction
automatically puts the entries in the user logon language in the
language-dependent fields in the view.
Explicitly copying a language field is an error, which can cause
problems, not only in the BC Set context.

System Response

You cannot put the maintenance view in BC Sets. The view cluster, except
for the view &V1&, can be used.

How to fix this error?

Contact your system administrator or the SAP developer responsible.
<ZH>Notes for the SAP developer responsible for the view:</>
Maintenance views should not contain language fields (see above).
Change the view in the Dictionary.
Regenerate the maintenance dialog (SE54).
<ZH>General note:</>
It is not an error if the language field is also in the primary table
key.

Procedure for System Administrators

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