Problem Note 13957: Metadata generation error when field label greater than 32 characters

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
The metadata generation program for SAS Marketing Automation will fail
if an information map data item contains a column with a label which is
greater than 32 characters in length.

An error is written to the Stored Process log as follows:

   ERROR: The variable named BALANCEOFANEXTREMELYLONGNAMEMORETHAN
   contains more than 32 characters.

The workaround is to change the label on the physical table before
importing it via ETL studio.
