What causes this issue?

A feature/subfeature with table return can have more than one line. In
this case, table maintenance must have the 'NEXTR f' supplement. Tree
maintenance automatically adds both this supplement, and the final
comma or parentheses when you open the report, but requires space to do
so. For this reason, the length of the table return values is limited
to 34 characters, or to 30 characters when you open the report.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Enter table maintenance (again) (in the View function), and shorten
your entries accordingly.
