MDG_OITC_CUST006 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MDG_OITC_CUST - MDG. Object Identifier Type Code messages

• 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.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Choose from the following actions:
Define a delimiter for the key structure &V3& of object identifier &V1&.

If key mapping data still exist for object type &V2&, you should not
delete the 'No conversion' flag at all. Otherwise the stored key mapping
data might become corrupt.
