Having created and tried to use an Import dataport (format: variable), I got the following error message:

THE LENGTH OF THE SOURCE EXCEEDS THE SIZE OF THE DESTINATION BUFFER

Could anyone help me to solve this, please?

Thanks.
Zin

    You usually get that error when you try to put a variable that is too long into an automation type variable, or when an automation type variable returns a variable that is too long. Check the variable lengths in your dataport and build length checks into the dataport with clear error messages.

    I guess You have a table with a quite long key. Right? There's a limitation of how long strings that can be shown in a dialog.

    Set the property "Show Progress" to false and it will work fine for You.
