Definition

When this indicator is set, an initial value passed on for conversion is not converted, and therefore does not cause an error.

Use

Set this indicator when the initial value is a valid value, but should only be used if no other conversion value (including error handling) can be found.

The output value of the conversion is therefore the initial value.

Procedure

Select this field when the field contents from the legacy system can possess an "initial" value, and this value also represents a valid value for the target field.
