What causes this issue?

The check "Container Tables (Type K, L)" checks if all preparations for
so called container tables with the type 'K' or 'L' have been finished.
The current status of the preparation is ' &V1& ' which means that the
preparation is not finished yet.

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

Background: Container tables store structured data in wide, character
like fields. Such tables need a special handling in a Unicode conversion
to ensure correct alignment of data in the container fields.
Container tables can have different types. Type 'K' and 'L' tables need
a special preparation before the Unicode conversion tools start handling
these container tables.
The definitions of container tables can be display with report
UMG_INSERT_CONTAINER.

System Response

Container tables defined with type 'K' or 'L' are not processed by
transaction SPUMG.
R3load will stop the database export during Unicode conversion in case
the preparations for type 'K' or 'L' tables are not finished.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that the preparations for type 'K' or 'L' tables are finished.
Read the Unicode Conversion Guide for more information on how to execute
the preparation.
