What causes this issue?

The current data row contains the character string '&V2&' as the value
at position &V1&. However, according to upload method &V4&, only &V3&
fields are to be read per row. The system therefore cannot interpret
the string as a characteristic value.

System Response

The character string '&V2&' at the end of the row is ignored.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that upload method &V4& really is the method you want to use,
and that it includes all the fields that are to be read.
If you use variable column widths, make sure that the fields in a data
row are set apart by exactly one field separator.
Try to avoid using long data rows.
