PH27588: DATA TYPE CHANGES ARE NOT REFLECTED IN DATA MODULE

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• The data type change is not brought into the Data Module after
  you've reloaded the metadata.
  The change is only visible in the source tree.
  Furthermore you need to know which items have been changed to
  compare then the set data type and Technical data type in source
  tree and data module.
  Validation does not return a note about data type changes.
  

Local fix

• After metadata has been reloaded to show changes in source tree,
  identify the items that have changed.
  Then remove them from the Data Module and re-add them.
  Also review reports/ dashboards etc. to ensure they still work
  after this major change. Used functions or expressions might not
  work because the the data type change.
