What causes this issue?

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

System Response

The system issues a warning. If you select a value during application
runtime using the search 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 search help value
field:
&V3&
&V4&
