Try a simple test ---

Make an input processing that does one thing -- assigns a value to those 
"long" fields.  Run dclerk with that input, and without any automatic 
processing.  Does it still fail?  If so, contact fpsupport.  If that works, 
then there's probably something in your processing that's blanking out those 
fields.
