Workflow fails in CReW Runner & List Runner with ConvError - but w/o errors on its own

I am trying to use the CReW Runner and List Runner macros for the first time.

 

I am trying to run 3 workflows. 

#1 runs successfully.

#2 failed the first time due to an error caused by an unconnected detour tool -- this was resolved and it now runs successfully

#3 fails with a conversion error

 

#3 fails when processed thru List Runner and by itself in Runner.

ConvError:  Runner (1): Tool #31: Errors: FieldConversionError - ToolId 28: The output code page couldn't fully convert the value in the field... is not a number.
Info:  Runner (1): MY_FILENAME Ran With Errors

 

Opened in desktop and run by itself, #3 runs with no errors?

 

Thoughts?

After checking field length (not the issue), it appears the issue is/was related to the Code Page setting of my CSV output file.

It was set to ISO 8859-1 Latin 1.

Changing it to Unicode UTF-16 appears to have cleared the issue.

I had the same issue with the workflow whining about the code page.   My output was set to ISO 8859-1 Latin 1 like @hellyars.  It was barfing because the output was trying to slap down a euro symbol (€).  Changing to UTF-8 resolved it.  Thanks, hellyars!
