Hi, We have a dataport that is coming up with Internal Error 4 in Module 42 which is Err_Fmt_DestTooSmall (Module_Fmt,4L). First of all can anybody decipher this error message into something more meaningful ? The dataport is importing into the Item table where the Description field has been increased to 150. On the records that cause this error the description on the file is only about 80 characters. If this is cut down to about 65 characters it is okay. Some of the descriptions are around 110 characters and they go through okay. It seems a most bizarre situation and if anybody has any ideas it would be most appreciated. With thanks in advance.
Hi Robin My fist thought is that it is something to do with items search description. Has this been increased to 150 chars as well. Are you importing (new records) or modifing records with your dataport. If modifing then change the search description to something unrelated to the description and try again. When you validate the description field, the search description is tested to see if it the same as the old description or blank, and if so is replaced by the new description. If this solves your problem then the code need updateing to truncate the description or increase the size of the search description. If you still get the error after changing the search description or you are inserting new record then it is something else??? Paul Baxter Edited by - triff on 2001 Oct 17 15:04:31
Hi. The problem is that ### in OPENWINDOW is to short to display the datacaptionfields on Item. You can try to set the property ShowStatus=No on the Dataport. If you still want a statusbar, you can make your own.
Hi Claus, Many thanks for your reply. Have tested and works. Thank You
