System Response

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



How to fix this error?

The specification in this dynpro for
physical/logical directory
Name of directory
Function module
must fit with one another.
logical directory:
Directory must be defined as a global path in transaction
<DS:TRAN.FILE>FILE</>
Function module must be qualified in <DS:TRAN.WE55>generate file name
</> as function module for logical directory.
physical directory:
any directory available in operating system
Function module must be qualified in <DS:TRAN.WE55>generate file name
</> as function module for physical directory.
This inconsistency can occur after the put to 4.6a, if a logical
directory has already been used in 4.5a. You must set the flag in this
case to 'logical directory'.
