Hi,

Have you attached the field to the dictionary?

Did you by any chance happen to change the properties of the field in the dictionary?

If so, activate and adjust the database table and then add the field to the dictionary.

HI Neha,

This happens when the Screen fields of type DATE or Quantity or Currency fields and you are passing char or other type of values.

So check your Screen Field type and the value type you are trying to pass and stick one format.

Go to screen and check the properties of your field in screen. Make it type you want it to be.

Hi Neha,

Please check the Input help value data type against the fieild data type for which you are defining help.

Hope it works.
