How To Fix FDT_CORE154 - Possible data conversion conflict; &1 to &2

FDT_CORE154 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FDT_CORE - Formula & Derivation Tool: Core

• Message number: 154

• Message text: Possible data conversion conflict; &1 to &2

What causes this issue?

Two data objects, for example, results of nested expressions, have a
different type and therefore may not be converted into each other. It
depends on the value that is assigned at runtime for the system to
decide whether the conversion is possible or not. This situation can
also arise if the result data object of a function and the one of the
function's top expression cannot be converted into each other.

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 are sure that the values used at runtime will always be
convertible, you do not have to take any action. Otherwise, you may want
to change the type of one of the data objects or use a different data
object in order to ensure convertibility at runtime.
