Error 6020

Maximum length of data element is exceeded. Element = '<element id>', Value = '<value>', Length = '<actual>' (Max = '<maximum length>')

Description

The actual length of the raw data that is stored as value in the data element with element id exceeds that which is actually defined for the data element.  The maximum length of the raw data cannot exceed maximum length before an error is generated.

Resolution

Applicable to EDI.  The maximum and minimum length of the data element is defined by the controlling standard, and this definition is stored in the implementation guideline.  FREDI reads the implementation guideline for the correct syntax of the EDI document.  View the definition in the implementation guideline and verify that the maximum length is what it is expected to be and then correct the data in the EDI document accordingly.  If the maximum length is correct according to the standard then, for the Standard Exchange Format (SEF) files, verify that the definition in the SEF is correct.
