EXTENDED FIELD IN KEY

Reason:

During the verification of a DATABASE structure, a KEY substructure was detected that contains a FIELD entity-occurrence with a TYPE attribute-value of Z, K, or G. Use of a double-byte FIELD entity-occurrence in a key can cause the data records to be sorted and retrieved according to a bit pattern that is different than the alphanumeric bit pattern.

Action:

This is a warning message only. No action is required if this manner of sorting or retrieval is acceptable.
