Message Text

Foreign key &-& can only be changed in included table

Help Document

Diagnosis

You switched in change mode to a foreign key for an included table in name range CI_ (or SI_) or an append structure.

System Response

The foreign key is only displayed. It cannot be changed.

Procedure

Only change foreign keys for such structures in the structure itself. The change then affects the included tables as well.

In general it is possible to define the included foreign key in the included table differently from the included table.

The special cases described above can however be seen as application-specific or customer-specific elements of a table, which should avoid modifying the standard table. Foreign key maintenance in the standard table would however be a modification.
