I would say that almost EVERYONE who has ever done EE is familiar with this particular message.
You cannot export a field defined as nullable into a sequential file without handling the possibility of a NULL. There is no such thing as a NULL in a flat file. Searching the forum would have helped you here.

Thanks so much throbinson. This was very useful.

Also, I searched the forum for "When validating export schema: At field" and got no hits. So I post the question. Thanks again.
