Problem:

When importing a PCF file the following was found at multiple components:

    ITEM-CODE <Unset>
    COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE1  <Unset> 
    COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE2  <Unset> 
    COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE4  <Unset> 
    COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE5  <Unset>
    UCI <Unset> 

What affect will this have on importing the file?

Solution:

 <Unset> contains no information for the application to use when importing these components. Review AutoPIPE PCF translator content for what type of data should be stored.

Workaround, delete all lines containing <Unset>.

Also recommend going back to application that generated the PCF file to understand why data was missing from the exported PCF file. One may need to contact the original software technical support for assistance in generating a valid PCF file.
