Diagnosis

You have used a decision operation. The following two cases are possible:

1. Decision operation without comparison:

You have specified a value for the variable key which does not match the field type of the decision operation. You have, for example, specified an alphanumeric value instead of a numeric one as defined in the Data Dictionary.

2. Decision operation with comparision:

You have specified a value for the variable key which does not match the field type of the decision operation. In comparisons, you may only specify the characters '<', '>', '=' or '*' in the variable key. Or: both fields for the comparison (the decision operation field and the direct value or the comparison field) must be of the same type.

Procedure

Check the values entered in the variable key against the decision operation fields or the values before and behind the '?' character.
