System Response

How to fix this error?

Obey the value range for type &V2&.
Examples:
Minimum and maximum values for numbers (e.g. INT1 = [0,255], INT2 =
[-32768,32767], ...).
Decimal precision for decimal numbers (e.g. DEC (7,2) cannot store
"1.234").
Correct format for date (DATS) fields (YYYYMMDD), and the date itself is
valid ('20150229' for example is not valid, as there is no February 29th
in 2015).
Correct format for time (TIMS) fields (HHMMSS with HH in 24h format),
and the time itself is valid ('235960' for example is not valid, even in
years with leap-second).
