What causes this issue?

The <DS:TX.DDDOK_SHLP_COLLECTIVE>collective search help</> includes
search help &V1&, but no assignment between the parameters of the
collective search help and the interface of the included search help
&V1& are defined for this inclusion. The inclusion therefore makes no
sense since it is not possible to return a value from the included
search help to the collective search help and thus to the search field
of the input template.
