• Message number: 405

• Message text: Value range is only permitted for formats CHAR, NUMC, DEC, INT*

What causes this issue?

You tried to enter fixed values for a domain with a data type which does
not allow this. Only data types CHAR, NUMC, DEC, INT2, and INT4 allow
entry of fixed values.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

If you want to specify fixed values, you must change the data type of
the domain to one allowing entry of fixed values. Remember that the DYNP
processor carries out an input check on the template for data types
NUMC and CHAR only. At present, you have to program the value check for
the numeric types INT* and DEC yourself.
