• Message number: 148

• Message text: Metadata of field &1 and the domain fixed value help &2 are different

What causes this issue?

You have defined a domain fixed value help for field &V1& and used
domain &V2& as the corresponding fixed value field. However, the data
dictionary metadata of the two objects is different.

System Response

The system issues a warning. If you select a value during application
runtime using the check table help, however, the system behavior might
be undefined resulting in a runtime error.

How to fix this error?

Check whether or not the differences in the data dictionary metadata are
critical. Find below two lines of data each consisting of the following
properties:
Data type (CHAR4)
Length (NUMC6)
Output length (NUMC6)
Number of decimal places (NUMC6)
Lowercase indicator (CHAR1)
Indicator for sign in numerical fields (CHAR1)
The first line contains the DDIC metadata of the source field &V1&, and
the second line represents the DDIC metadata of the domain fixed value
field:
&V3&
&V4&

  The SAP error message SLS_LO_GAF_EWB148 indicates that there is a mismatch between the metadata of a field and the fixed value help associated with that field. This typically occurs in scenarios where the field's data type or domain definition has been altered, but the associated fixed value help has not been updated accordingly.
  
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The field's data type may have been changed (e.g., from CHAR to NUMC) without updating the fixed value help.
  Domain Changes: The domain associated with the field may have been modified, leading to inconsistencies with the fixed value help.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the field or the fixed value help in the relevant data dictionary objects.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), inconsistencies may arise if the transport did not include all necessary objects.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Metadata: Verify the metadata of the field
