I understand that you are trying to setup Text Message Forwarding and you missed the part to enter in the code so that it pairs. The only thing I can think of is to try the steps again to see if the code pops up so you can enter it it.
Set up SMS and MMS with Continuity
- You need iOS 8 or later on your iOS devices and OS X Yosemite or later on your Mac.
- Sign in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac.
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Add a check to both your phone number and email address. Then go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding and enable the device or devices that you want to forward messages to.
- Look for a code on the Mac, iPad, or iPod touch that you enabled. Then enter this verification code on your iPhone.
Use Continuity to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac

Let me know if this helps.
Have a good day -

The procedure doesn’t generate a new code, it seems.
Than what?
Thank you.

That is interesting that you are not seeing the code pop up again. The next thing to do would be to contact Apple Support to have them take a look at the setup. You can start that process by using the link below.
