IDCMCDEP96 - DVW ELEMENT has missing or misaligned field(s)

Reason:

Although Datadictionary allows any collection of fields in a given record to be included in an element, CA Ideal requires that all fields in the range of an element be explicitly included in the element. A gap was detected in the element, that is, a field is contained in the range of the element that was not explicitly included in the element. Both compound and simple fields must be included in the element.

Use of the aligned data types 2,4,8, when the fields were not already aligned at the appropriate boundary, can generate slack bytes in an CA Datacom/DB table. CA Ideal regards these slack bytes as a non-explicit field in the range of an element.

Action:

If aligned data-types are included in your table, introduce filler-fields to represent the slack bytes or rearrange the fields of the table so that aligned data-types always occur on appropriate boundaries. Modify elements for the table so that all fields in the range of an element are actually included in the element.
