Running Behold on MAC OS X - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 19 Aug 2014

By enumerated list of choices, are you meaning 'controlled' as referred to in the specification:

This means that the values should be converted to all uppercase or all lowercase prior to comparing.
The terms UPPERCASE and UpperCase are ...

So does that warning greater than 255 comes as a result of an incorrect GEDCOM export?
