I am using 8.08 of Webfocus, when executing report in composer I am getting (FOC209) THE DATA VALUE EXCEEDS ITS LENGTH SPECIFICATION: EMPTYREPORT ON error.

I have 4 report components to placed in composer, for 3 report components it runs fine when I add 4th component it produce this error

Below is the composer code
*-HOLD_SOURCE

any clue why it is generating error

You probably have some unterminated statement before EMPTYREPORT in Table_Mod02.fex, but you didn't show the contents.

The first time it does not matter that it's unterminated (for the parser what's following could be part of the statement), but when you enter the same fex again the parser notices the error.
