'Features to GPX' Tool Failed to Execute

Question

I try to use 'Features to GPX' tool to convert a bicycle path to GPX and it is failed to execute. I have created 4 fields: name, desc, elevation, time, and do not modify the tool used as it is. Maybe somebody had such a problem and know the solution?

First, try a shorter output file name and path without spaces.

Second, since the issue appears to be a position 210, it might be some untranslateable character in a field, perhaps in your description field.

I would begin to examine your data fields and identify those that have large entry values (more than 210 characters) and look for internationalized characters, or other symbols that it may be having trouble translating. Perhaps it doesn't have the codec needed to do so.
