Macro reacting differently in isolation to in workflow

Hi,

 

 

I have an iterative macro that I have created which works properly under test conditions (using an input document output from directly upstream in the workflow), but when I add it to the workflow (immediately after where I extracted the test data from) I get an "invalid utf-8 characters" error. 

 
Messages when run in workflow (I get the same error message for each iteration)

Messages when run in test:

Any suggestions as to where I should start looking for a potential error would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks

Your assumption is correct - the macro run by itself works in isolation to the workflows that may be using it. What I would do is get your Debug Workflow from the Test View of Interface Designer, then grab the values you would be passing through from the workflow into the Input Data / Text Input that should be there in your Debug
