How To Fix SCPR659 - BC Set &1 contains &2 redundant data records because of gen. keys

SCPR659 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCPR - BC Sets

• Message number: 659

• Message text: BC Set &1 contains &2 redundant data records because of gen. keys

What causes this issue?

BC Set &V1& contains data records with generic deletions, for which
there are several duplicate data records in the BC Set, because of the
generic key.
Example 1:The BC Set contains a data record with the key 'ABC*', and a
data record with the key 'A*'. 'ABC*' is part of the key 'A*', and the
data record 'ABC*' is not required in the BC Set.
Example 2: The BC Set contains a data record with the key 'ABCD' twice.
This can happen if the BC Set is filled first with the generic key 'A*',
and then with the key 'ABC*'. One of the duplicate data records (with
the key 'ABCD'), can be removed from the BC Set.

System Response

The BC Set contains redundant information. The redundant data records
are removed automatically in the change mode of the BC Set maintenance
transaction, to avoid display and update problems. Redundant data should
not cause problems in other BC Set transactions (e.g. BC Set
activation).
