ARCHIVED: At IU, why do I get the error "#EZError in field size" in IUCAT?
At Indiana University, you may see this message when using the
PRINT/EMAIL/SAVE option in IUCAT. If you are
marking several records to be printed, emailed, or saved, and those
records span multiple pages, it is easy to exceed IUCAT's character
limit and thus cause the error. To avoid this error, try selecting
records in sequence using the following suggestions.
Records that you select in sequence (1-14) don't require as many
characters as a non-sequential selection (e.g., 1, 3, 7, 8, 11, 12,
14), which may span multiple pages. If you're selecting several
documents instead of a range, UITS recommends that you
limit the number of pages from which you select records before using
the PRINT/EMAIL/SAVE option.
For example, you can mark records from pages 1 through 20 and choose
the PRINT/EMAIL/SAVE option. Once you've saved them, mark
records from pages 21 through 40, and so on. This will prevent you
from exceeding the character limit, and thus prevent you from
receiving the error message.
