Diagnosis

The two partners of the value assignment in a binding definition must be defined by identical data types or at least compatible data types.

Data types which are expressed via a field reference are "compatible" if the source element is shorter than the target element for the same data type.

Data types which are expressed via an object reference are compatible:

• if no object type is explicitly specified for the target element

  (assignment: specified object reference ==> unspecified object reference)

• if the source element references a subtype of the object type which is referenced by the target element

  (assignment: object reference subtype ==> object reference supertype)

Procedure

You should use F4 input help for the binding definition.

You should only select container elements which F4 input help shows have the following characteristics: "Data type identical" or "Compatible".

Refer to the color key!
