How To Fix SWF_BND_001096 - 'Field -> Character-Like Structure' assignments can cause inconsistencies

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SWF_BND_001 - Messages for workflow binding class

• Message number: 096

• Message text: 'Field -> Character-Like Structure' assignments can cause inconsistencies

What causes this issue?

A character-type field (type <AB>C</>, <AB>N</>, <AB>D</> or <AB>T</>)
is to be assigned a character-type structure. Since the source field is
not structured, the target structure is simply filled character for
character for this assignment. This can lead to inconsistencies in the
target structure, if, for example, letters are entered in a structure
component of type <AB>N</>.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

To avoid data inconsistencies, switch to a structured source field, if
possible. If this is not possible, you must ensure that the data of the
source field fills the target structure in a meaningful way.
