target data. However, the value '&V2&' is incompatible with the internal
format.

System Response

he format.

How to fix this error?

Check field &V1& as to whether the desired source data or concatenated s
ource data is satisfactory. If you want the system to interpret the

Conversion</> indicator and execute the method again.

Procedure for System Administrators

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