  • What causes this issue?

    The program you specified is of type &V1&. This program type is not
    supported as a master program for the FORM Routines of your user exits.

    System Response

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

    How to fix this error?

    Create your form routines in a program of type 'M' (module pool), 'S'
    (subroutine pool), or '1' (online program). You can not define your form
    routines in a function group (type 'F'), since the access mechanism
    performed on the global data in view cluster maintenance is not
    supported in this case.
    Note:
    Include the INCLUDE statement INCLUDE LSVCMCOD in your program to have
    access to the global data in view cluster maintenance.
