    No value was entered in the "Level" field of the object &V1& in the

    specified as predecessor.

    System Response

    How to fix this error?

    Enter a whole number between 1 and 10 as "Level".
    This value specifies the hierarchy level of a Viewclusters object. A
    header entry has level 1, an object which depends on a header has level
    2, etc.
    The level influences the layout of the subscreen. The short
    descriptions are indented appropriately in the subscreen, and a
    preceeding arrow indicates the dependency. It has no other
    significance.
