designate the infotype used as reference in completing the employee's
contract type:
if the constant value is zero (default value), the contract type is
issued from the CTTYP field of infotype <ZK>"Contract elements" (0016)
</>;
if the value is 1, the ANSVH field of infotype <ZK>"Assignment" (0001)
</> will be read.

System Response

The system interrupts the contract processing.

How to fix this error?

Set the CONTR constant parameters in table T511K so that the constant
has the same value as the infotype of your choice.
Note:
In determining the contract type, the user must set the constant and
selected infotype (0001 or 0016) parameters in addition to table T5F42
in which the contract properties are managed.
