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.
