• Message number: 006

• Message text: Flag 'No conversion from internal into external format' cannot be deleted

What causes this issue?

You deleted the flag <DS:DE.MDG_CC_NO_CONVERSION_INT_EXT>no conversion
from internal into external format</> for object identifier &V1&. This
object identifier is assigned to object type &V2&, which is enabled for
key mapping. Because the key structure of &V1& consists of more than one
key component, the output length of all components must not exceed their
internal length or a <DS:DE.MDG_CC_OBJECT_ID_DELIMITER>delimiter</> is
defined for the key structure.

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

data might become corrupt.
