  • What causes this issue?

    You have set a structured field as a data dictionary reference.
    However, from the point of view of generic attributes this makes no

    System Response

    Internally, the system uses the reference to the field HRT1222-LOW. The
    attribute is therefore treated as if it were untyped. No input or
    output conversion is possible.

    How to fix this error?

    Procedure for System Administrators

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