Hi,

The way you used is right. ( cancel release or create a new segment )

After you cancel release, try delete that field, and insert a new one.

If it isn't valid still, create a new segment instead.

Dear Deva,

Could you please let me know how you solved the problem.

First of all I am unable to cancel the release. It is giving me the error : "Error while resetting release of segment ZC9DEMARA01

".
