Check the column definitions. If you unloaded the data including a
computed column, all the other columns will be shifted. If ID is an
autonumbered column, LOAD ... NONUM
That's all I can think of offhand.

This may take somebody with a grey beard, like me, I'm working in
Rbase 4.5.
Had a major hardware (and software) crash simultaneously four months
ago and before I realized that the software had crashed too, I managed
to corrupt all recent data backups so I had to revert to restoring
with an older one.
Temporary computer that was restored with the old backup and on
which all recent entries have been made is WIN 98, new is XP Pro
(destination) if that makes any difference. Both computers have the
identical Data Base except the new is missing all data from 03/01/2009
onward.
Attempting to do a PROM UNLOAD and then a PROM LOAD (ASCII) of five
data tables from one computer to the other.
Have executed the UNLOAD commands successfully within the old
computer and transferred them to a Zip Disc for transport.
When loading them in to the new computer, the first four load just
fine and are usable however, the fifth (and last) one doesn't load and
yields the following error message (twice if that means anything)
_"WARNING COLUMN ID WILL BE TRUNCATED"_ (column "ID" is one of the
columns within the table).
These are very small tables, 1KB, 6KB, 10KB, 13KB, 37KB, 39KB. The
troublesome one is the largest.
Suspecting that I made some type of error when unloading the fifth
one, (such as somehow changing the sequence of the columns), i
repeated the unload and load with exactly the same result.
Anybody have any ideas what should I be looking for in terms of the
cause of this error message?
