IDAETDVW04 - Discrepancy in element length for CADATACOM DVW

Reason:

The TABLE for the CA Datacom/DB DVW was altered and CATALOGED in the CA Datacom/DB CXX file. The corresponding change in CA Ideal must be reflected by issuing the command CATALOG DVW in CA Ideal for all related CA Ideal DVWs on this table. Recompile all associated programs.
Multiple versions of the DVW in TEST and PROD status and different versions of the DVW have different element (or key) lengths for identically named elements (keys). The current program was compiled with one version, but RUN with a DVW with a different length element (using the ALTER or ASSIGN command before RUN).

Action:

CATALOG all related DVWs in CA Ideal for the changed TABLEs and recompile existing related programs before attempting to RUN with an altered database.
If element lengths were inadvertently altered in CA Datacom/DB in different versions of the DVW, alter CA Datacom/DB definitions of the TABLE so that the element lengths between versions correspond or else use different versions of the same program to operate against different versions of the same DVW. Do not use the commands ASSIGN and ALTER on a single program to dynamically specify a version-DBID where element or key length changes were made.
