  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This warning message typically occurs in the context of SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe or SAP Smart Forms when dealing with locking mechanisms on totals or subtotals in a form or table.
  
  The message indicates that a lock on a total field (e.g., a sum or subtotal) has been removed.
  The placeholders mean:
  &1 = the total number or identifier (e.g., total line number or total type)
  &2 = the row number in the table/form
  &3 = the column number in the table/form
  
  
  This usually happens when the system detects that the total field is no longer locked because the underlying data or structure has changed, or the lock was explicitly removed during processing.
