  • What causes this issue?

    For technical reasons, you cannot specify the table key of table &V1&
    in its full length. Instead you must specify it generically. There are
    two possible reasons for this:
    Table keys with packed fields or fields of type I can only be specified
    up to the first of these key fields.
    The key is longer than allowed by the Change and Transport System (120
    characters).

    You must enter the generic symbol at the latest in the 120th character
    of the key.
