Error with Output to TAB file (Error: 3)

Hello,

I'm trying to output some spatial data to a TAB (MapInfo Table) file, but I am receiving a very generic error that I need some help with. See below workflow and error message:

Anyone have any idea why this may be happening or what it means? I need to output to some sort of standard spatial file, and I am not sure why the workflow is failing to write to the TAB file. I have tried writing to a shapefile instead, but those are limited to 2 GB in Alteryx. I am not aware of any size restriction on TAB files, so I don't believe that is the issue here.

Thanks in advance for any help or tips.

Not sure why I have two separate posts on this - my mistake!

Having the same question. Partially solved the problem by restricting the output number of records. Still, my quest requires me to do a single file, so looking forward to the actual solution of this. Though you could try to divide them into several files to output.
