World Writer file output error

I have a WW that as a printed report runs fine, but when I change it to dump the output to a file (about 130 bytes) I get an error in my job log with a code MCH1210 - "Receiver value too small to hold result", and of course I get no output. The other kicker is we have other WWs that also dump to a file (same library, etc.) and they run fine as well. Any thoughts on why this one is giving us fits?
 
Wish this would have worked, but this apparently wasn't the
issue. Any other thoughts?

This problem usually happens when one of the fields in the output definition is too small to hold the result of operation. Usually involves a field that has been added to the output layout and is defined to calculate a new value but there are enough significant digits to hold one of the values calculated.
 
Val,

I would find the output file in the library and delete and then try
running your WW outfile create again.

Sometimes my users get an error when creating a file in WW because the same field is output more than once (for whatever reason).
