• Message number: 376

• Message text: Cannot display entry possibilities here (Compound characteristic)

What causes this issue?

It was deteremined, that a compound characteristic exists for the
characteristic '&V1& . The characteristic '&V1&' has '&V2&' as a
superior characteristic. This superior characteristic is not specified
as a general selection in the form, rather only within an element. In
this case the display of entry possibilities cannot be shown.

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

If, for example, field 'B' has 'A' as superior characteristic then
Element 1 'A = 1' and 'B = Variable $VAR1' can be defined and in
Element 2 'A = 2' and 'B = Variable $VAR1' can be defined.
The prerequisite for a display is an unequivocal specification of all
superior characteristics in the general selections.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Apart from that, you only have the possibility of entering a value
without entry help.
