  • What causes this issue?

    For each source field of an operator you can split the source into two
    pairs of attributes: offset and length; separator and index.
    The current values are invalid because they do not meet the following
    requirements:
    Offset and Length
    When an "offset" is defined without a "length", the move operation is
    valid. The system moves the part of the character string starting at the
    offset position up to the end of the string.
    When a "length" is defined without an "offset", the move operation is
    valid. The system moves the part of the character string starting at the
    first character up to the position designated by the "length" to the
    target field.
    When a value is specified for the "offset" or the "length" (or both),
    then the "separator" and the "index" may not have any values. Otherwise,
    the move operation is invalid.
    The values must be numbers greater than zero.
    Separator and Index
    Both the "separator" and the "index" must contain values. The move
    operation is invalid if only one of the attributes contains a value.
    When the "separator" and the "index" contain values, you may not enter
    values for the "offset" and "length". Otherwise, the move operation is
    invalid.
    The value for "index" must be a number greater than zero.
