What causes this issue?

BC Set &V1& contains data records with generic deletions. When the BC

data records.

System Response

Redundant data records can occur as follows:
The BC Set contains at least two data records with generic keys, which
can both be created by the same generic.
-> In this case, only the data record with the most generic key remains
in the BC Set, the others with generic keys are deleted.
At least one data record is duplicated in the BC Set. These are data
records with generic keys, in which, according to the generic, part of
the data read is identical.
-> Duplicate, or repeated data records are reduced to a single data
record.
Note: There is no loss of data in the BC Set in these cases, because
there is no change to the BC Set activation behavior.

How to fix this error?

You can continue to process the BC Set. No data has been lost.
