How To Fix FDT_CORE448 - Data dictionary (DDIC) type &1 is switched off by switch &2 (&3)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 448

• Message text: Data dictionary (DDIC) type &1 is switched off by switch &2 (&3)

What causes this issue?

The system has detected that the DDIC type &v1& to which the current
data object is bound is controlled by switch &v2&, which is currently
turned off. However, DDIC type &v1& has been activated in
the current system.
The purpose of this message is to make you aware that although the data
object binding is currently OK, it is possible that problems arise when
the containing application is transported into a system where switch
&v2& is turned off and DDIC type &v1& may therefore not be available. In
that case, any attempt to use the data object will raise an exception.

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

System Response

How to fix this error?

Make sure that all BRFplus functions using DDIC type &v1& can be called
only if switch &v2& is on.
