AXimport AXexport usage. Tons of Zeros added to "range start" field
I've exported jobs from one DS and imported into a new one. All my jobs that contain "modify configuration" tasks have had over 64 zero's added to the prefix.
Fixed text = WCHI
range start = 1000
(imported version of job
range start = tons of zeros1000)
results wchi1000...wchi1009
After the import on the new system, I get the error "Please enter no more than 64 characters
I look and on the imported job, range start = 0000000000000000000000
(some seemingly infinite number of zeros)0001000.
The end of the range still has 1000. I look in the config_set table in EXPRESS and the cname_addl field shows the value of 1000 as I would expect.
If I copy the entire DS job, or just copy the task within the job, the pasted results also share this error.
However, if I create a new modify configuration task, the setting I enter remain correct.
Comparing the items in the config_set table, I see a field called cname_addl_padlength
The working job has 4 and the failed jobs/tasks have NULL.
Any idea how to track this down. A problem with the export or with the import?

This quick fix seems to have made the problem go away.
SQL query
update config_set
set cname_addl_padlength = len(cname_addl)
This replaced the NULL values in cname_addl_padlength with what appears to be the correct value.
Still not sure if it was a bad export or bad import. Also not sure this is the correct or safe fix.
