Message text: Types of search help parameter & and selection method field incompatible
The <DS:TX.DDDOK_SHLP_PARAMETER>parameter</> &V1& of the elementary
search help also occurs as a field in the <DS:DE.SELMETHOD>selection
method</> of the search help. The data type, length and number of
decimal places of the search help parameters and fields of the
selection method must therefore be consistent. The specified parameter
violates this condition.
INCLUDE DDDOC_CANCEL
Make sure that the parameter and field have identical types. This is
best done by defining the type of the search help parameter with a data
element using the same domain as the data element with which the type
of the field of the selection method is defined.
