characters.

System Response

The character string "&V2&" is cut off after &V3& characters.

How to fix this error?

Check if the string "&V2&" is indeed supposed to be interpreted as the
value of characteristic &V1&. If this is the case, avoid exceeding the
maximum length for this characteristic.
However, if there has been a mix-up, compare the structure of the file
with the definition in the upload method. If variable column widths are
used, particularly pay attention to the number of field separators in
the data row involved.
