I think in plain english it does mean what it says - that the enrollment_dt field which is the second field in the record is more than 9 characters in length.

If this was a unix system, I would do the following to verify that

     cat datafile | awk   -F','     '{  if (length($2) > 9) { print NR, $2 }   }'

That would print the record numbers and contents of the second field for which ever records that had the second field more than 9 characters in length.
