How to fix this error?

compare flag. You can find the affected view clusters as follows:
Start the view maintenance transaction SM30 (menu <LS>System - Services
- Table Maintenance - Extended Table Maintenance</>).
Choose <PF>Find Maintenance Dialog (Ctrl + F1)</>.
Enter the table name <LB>&V1&</><LB> </> in the following dialog box.
All view clusters which are based on a maintenance dialog and must be
checked, are listed in a search help dialog box.
The comparison flag of a view cluster cannot have a "higher" value than
the "lowest" of its maintenance dialogs.
If for example, a view maintenance dialog is flagged as "not
adjustable", none of the view clusters which contain the dialog can be
flagged as "automatically adjustable".
