  • What causes this issue?

    You are using a reference characteristic that is not supported in any
    IPC scenario.

    System Response

    Characteristics that are not supported do not receive any values from
    the call environment and therefore have no value in the read access, so
    inconsistencies may result. Write access to data from the calling
    environment is fundamentally not possible (exceptions: STPO-MENGE,
    SDCOM-VKOND).

    How to fix this error?

    If you want read access to the reference field, check whether it is
    possible in your scenario to enter the corresponding SCE context (table
    name, table field, value) in the IPC-calling application. For more
    information, see the online documentation.
