  • What causes this issue?

    Value '&V1&' in the file (row &V2&, column &V3&) is longer than the
    established length.
    The system analyzed the file data to establish the column properties
    (data type, length, characteristic/key figure). Only a certain part of
    the file was analyzed due to performance reasons.
    The error described above did not occur in the analyzed part of the
    file.

    System Response

    The system investigated the value and established the length '&V4&'.

    How to fix this error?

    Set the length '&V4&' for column '&V3&'.
    You can only set the length if you have activated the 'leading zeros'
    property for the column. Alternatively you can use the <LS>Analyze
    Selected Columns</> function in the column overview. The system then
    analyzes all the values in the selected columns and sets the properties.
    Now perform the operation again.

    Procedure for System Administrators

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