Hi, I am receiving a "Data value beginning '<text>' is too long for the string attribute '<attribute>' and will be truncated. Continue Anyway?" error when I am importing a spreadsheet.
It seems that the import utility thinks the attribute is a "string" when it actually is text base type. I checked this many times. I also deleted the attribute and then re-added it as text to confirm that it is text base type.
I've consulted the help section on importing spreadsheets. I chose to import by a list as described. I really thought this would work because you are capturing the attribute definitions of the module you are importing into this way. I am still receiving the error. I tried everything I can think of to no avail.
I am trying to create a process for us to capture the state of a module at a given time other than copying it. Some of our modules are huge so copying crashes sometimes. I am cloning the module with the necessary views, attribute definitions and attribute types. I just want the structure so I am choosing columns only.
After I clone the module, I export to a spreadsheet from the formal module. I use the 'by list' option and export only the attributes we need. When I import into the cloned module I use the 'by list' option as well. I would think this would work perfectly because I choose the exact same attributes to populate the list. I have even saved the list but this did no good as I still received the error.
Im using v6.0SR1 on Windows 2000 Pro system. Any thoughts? ------------------------- Marcus Ramirez SW Engineer |

I got that error when using 5.2 and my Telelogic rep said to just ignore it (hit return and keep importing). When I checked the data is was ok. Maybe it is the same for v6.0SR1.
