System Response

How to fix this error?

You can specify the original language in which the SAPscript forms that
you want to migrate are to be created.
If no entry is made in this field, all SAPscript forms corresponding to
the name(s) you entered are migrated.
Note:
1. In theory, it is not possible to migrate a form into a language
other than the original language using this report (in contrast, the
SAP Smart Forms maintenance transaction enables forms to be generated
in the logon language).
2. If various SAPscript forms exist for a name, only the form in the
original language is migrated (you can use the SAP Smart Forms
maintenance transaction to migrate each language version of a SAPscript
tool in individual processing).
