This error can arise in various contexts, such as during the activation of a data dictionary object or when trying to use a data element in a program or table.
  Cause:
  
  Data Element Activation: The error suggests that the data element in question has been activated, which means it is now available for use in the system. However, if there are inconsistencies or issues with the data element's definition, it may lead to this error.
