  • What causes this issue?

    either a predefined type via the fields DATATYPE [LENG, DECIMALS,
    DDTEXT] or specify a component type via ROLLNAME.

    System Response

    The system cannot fill the fields automatically and therefore not
    generate the structure object &v2&.

    How to fix this error?

    To enable the system to fill the fields, correct the configuration of
    the structure field description &v2&. To do so, you can either specify
    the DATATYPE or the ROLLNAME field as follows:
    To specify the DATATYPE field, enter Initial as value for the ROLLNAME
    field first. Then specify a predefined type for the DATATYPE field.
    Optionally you can enter values for the LENG, DECIMALS, and DDTEXT
    fields.
    To specify the ROLLNAME, enter Initial as value for the fields DATATYPE,
    LENG, DECIMALS and DDTEXT first. Additionally you have the following
    possibilities:
    - Specify a data dictionary type for the ROLLNAME field. In case you
    want to embed a structure you can set FIELDNAME = .INCLUDE.
    - Specify a reference type for the ROLLNAME field and specify the
    mandatory REFTYPE field.
