  Solution:
  
  Check Input Values: Ensure that the value being passed to the CHAR 1 field is indeed a single character. If the field is optional, make sure it is not left empty unless allowed.
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks in your data processing logic to ensure that only valid single-character values are passed to the field.
