  • What causes this issue?

    The binding check has determined that a change to the workflow
    definition of data type &V1& has been made since the last update of the
    workflow definition. The binding for container element &V3& uses this
    definition and therefore must be updated.

    System Response

    At workflow runtime the current definition is used instead.
    If you choose <LS>Binding->Check</> in a step binding editor at
    definiton time (in change mode), the necessary adjustments are carried
    out automatically by the system.

    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 the steps in which elements of data type &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.
