Definition

If you specify that a table with n key fields is to be generically buffered, you also need to specify how many of the initial key fields are to be used in determining the entries to be buffered.
The number of entries to be buffered must lie in the range of 1 to n-1. (This means, of course, that the value for n must be n>1, i.e. that the table to be buffered generically must have at least two key fields.
If generic buffering has been selected for the table to be activated, a check is made to see whether these restrictions have been met.
