Message type: E = Error
Message class: UCT8 - Message class for UCT8(mapping)
Message number: 241
Message text: Value "&1" exceeds length of source field &2
The system derives the value of the source field &V2& from the mapping
rule and the target selection. It uses the value for the source
selection to read the source data. However, the resulting value '&V1&'
exceeds the length of source field &V2&.
'&V1&' is invalid as a value for source field &V2&. The system cannot
read the source data.
Examine the source and target fields in the mapping rule. Check whether
the InfoObject of source field &V2& is suitable. You may need to use a
different InfoObject with a greater length.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
