Message Text
Table has a long field. It is not possible to create an append structure.
Help Document

Diagnosis

The edited table has a long field, that is, a field of type VARC, LRAW or LCHR with a length greater than 255. Such fields must be the very last table field. Therefore, no APPEND structure can be added to the table.

System Response

Creation of an APPEND structure was rejected.

Procedure

You cannot create an APPEND structure for this table unless you first delete the long field and then activate or adjust the table in the database. Please note that data losses may occur.
