Error description
This issue can be seen when using IBM Sterling Transformation Extender 11.0.1.x on AIX running a map using a standard Typetree, reading UTF-8 data that has multi-byte characters. Where a Typetree object has a specific maximum length restriction, the data might fail maximum size requirements, despite the character count being less than the requirement.
Local fix
ITXCQ - ITX00063098 PB / PB Circumvention: None
