What causes this issue?

While generating a list of available infotypes, the system determined
that infotype &V1& (object type '&V2&', subtype '&V3&') does not exist
or is incorrect. However, infotype &V1& is included in the InfoSet.
This indicates that the InfoSet was created at a time when infotype
&V1& still existed.

It is unlikely that infotype &V1& can be used meaningfully in queries.
Using this infotype could, in fact, trigger unexpected system
responses.

How to fix this error?

Remove the infotype from the InfoSet, if possible. However, if you want
to continue using the infotype in queries, make sure it is defined
correctly.
