Invalid character '<char>' in value '<string>' for string data type '<type>'
Description
The value string contains a character specified by char that is not valid as defined by the data type in type.
For example:
- In ASC/X12 the value "HELLO!THERE" is an invalid string if defined as AN because it contains the character "!". The data type "AN" is alphanumeric and can only contain alphabetic and numeric characters.
- In UN/EDIFACT the value "H3LLOTHERE" is an invalid string if defined as A because it contains the character "3". The data type "A" is alphabetic and can only contain characters in the alphabet.
