The value "" can't be evaluated into type DateTime.

Hello! I don't have a DateTime column at all in my code but when I try to import the fitting .CSV file I get this error code.

I doesen't make sense why it tries to evaluate the file into type DateTime when i declared is as text[2000].

My import has empty rows but I added into each column "MinOccurs = Zero;".

Full error looks like this: The value "">eur-lex.europa.eu/.../LexUriServ.do can't be evaluated into type DateTime.

Is it because of the uri for it to think it is a dateTIme? Even when I declared it as Text?

    Hi, is this an import program developed with XMLPort?
    Usually this does not happen, please try to debug it.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Something is wrong in the code when importing, check it again, otherwise take a one more text variable of text type and assign that value into that field using evaluate function and then transfer that variable to your actual field.

    The data type of the field is Text[2000]

    Hi,

    Can you check your field's data type in which you are trying to import that value?

    Thanks
