Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users importing a Column Map containing a    *
    *                 literal string value that spans more than    *
    *                 one input line.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Literal string values must be enclosed  *
    *                      in quotation marks.  If a literal       *
    *                      string value is long enough to span     *
    *                      multiple input records it may be        *
    *                      truncated during validation and the     *
    *                      closing quote lost leading to an error. *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the fix provided.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    Optim's Column Map import logic did not provide a large enough
    buffer to hold the entire literal string causing it to be
    truncated.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The faulty logic has been corrected.
