    How to fix this error?

    Make sure that you really want to import file &V1&.
    Make sure that you really want to use upload method &V2& for the
    import.
    Compare the actual layout of the file with the method definition in
    Consolidation Customizing. Ensure that the following elements
    correspond:
    Positioning of fields in header and data rows
    Number of fields in a row
    Sequence of fields in a row
    If the method uses variable column widths, do the following:
    Ensure that each data row contains at least N-1 field separators, where
    N is the number of fields per row in the method definition (note, for
    example, that even if only 2 fields of a 5-field row are filled, the
    row must still contain 4 field separators).
    Ensure that exactly one field separator is placed between contiguous
    fields, and not several or none.
