Item values must specificy exactly 8 bits error on an 8 bit item

Using the following code: <port baseline3end> / port = lpt1 / subport = data / items = ("01110100") </port> There are 20 other port elements in the script that are coded exactly the same way that are working fine. To my eyes the above port element does specify an item value of exactly 8 bits. Has anyone encountered this? I may I have just completely missed something?

The item detailed in the error message is clearly only 7 bits and doesn't appear to match the one in that <port> element.
