How To Fix UPE016 - URDT & already exists - Choose a different name

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UPE - Unicode Printing Enhancement tools

• Message number: 016

• Message text: URDT & already exists - Choose a different name

What causes this issue?

You have entered a name for a new URDT (Unicode Reference Device Type)
which already exists on the database.

System Response

The system sends a message and does not accept the name.

How to fix this error?

Choose a different name for the URDT.
Please note that for modifications which change the set of Unicode
character mappings registered in a URDT (for example, adding one or
several new Unicode characters, or re-mapping exising supported Unicode
characters to another TrueType font), the system prompts you to store
the modified URDT under a new name. It will not allow you to make the
changes to the already existing URDT.
The reason for this is that there is no technical possibility to reverse
such a modification of a URDT (i.e. there is no "UNDO" functionality).

Procedure for System Administrators
