Spaces Filled and Bytes Too Big for Flat File

Hi Community !

 

I tried to search for Space Filled fields but it didn't come up with what I was looking for. 

 

I am using the .flat to output the data so that it can included the blank spaced fields, the fields are all width length, but run into an error.

 

Error: Output Data (34): The field "Field1" is too big (1073741823 bytes) for a flat file. The limit is 64K.

 

How can I fix this error?

 

And is there another way to space filled the fields when it output to .txt (.csv)?

 

If there is a fix for the bytes limit issue, then I may be sticking with using .flat as the output. My output have over 400 fields.

 

Thank you!

Figured out how to fix this, in my workflow before the Output Tool, I have a Union Join tool, I added a Select Tool after Union Tool, this allow me to see the fields with big size, I then re-adjust the size to appropriately. And was able to Output as flat without any issue.
