Text Validation Error Codes
If you receive a text validation error while you are programming in SWIFT, use the error code to obtain a description of how the validation is handled and enforced.
The following table contains the error codes for SWIFT text validation:
SWIFT Error Code | Translator Report Error Number | Error Description |
---|---|---|
