  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The binding check has detected that a change has been made to the
    definition of reference &V1& or object &V2& since the last update of
    the workflow definition. The binding for container element &V3& uses
    this definition and must therefore be updated.

    System Response

    The correct definition of the data reference is determined at workflow
    runtime on an ad hoc basis. However, as long as the workflow definition
    is not updated, the same ad hoc correction appears again every time the
    workflow is run.

    How to fix this error?

    In order to permanently eliminate this discrepancy, you must update the
    workflow definition.
    Open the workflow definition in change mode.
    Call (in sequence) all steps in which object &V2& or reference &V1& are
    used.
    Branch to the binding editor for each step affected.
    Choose <LS>Binding -> Check</>. All necessary corrections will be
    carried out automatically.
    In the Workflow Builder, choose <LS>Extras -> Special functions ->
    Container correction</> in order to correct the workflow container.
    Save the workflow definition.

    A field symbol or data reference is assigned to an object, but the object is later replaced or modified.
    The reference points to a memory area that has been reallocated or changed.
