hi

but your string variable is how long?

my guess is that you have some text variable set to 1024

can you share the code?

Hi Zayn

As per the Code and Text Data Type you can use Maximum :1024 Length.

I suggest you create one more field so you can add more Data.

Note: As per the Microsoft document they are working for the Code & Text Length 2048 but we don't have any idea when we get this new changes.

hi Sainudheen

As suggest my above Answer if you create 2 Field then also need to use CopyStr function so you can copy data as per length.

For CopyStr function check URL: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/methods-auto/text/text-copystr-method

The best idea here would be to write the long text into a blob field instead of using a text variable or a text field.

Maybe also a good idea to try to share your code, then it will be easier to assist you.

RE: The Length of the string is 1188 but it must be less than or equal to 1024

Thanks for the all the replies Now, iam trying to make my field into a blob data type and iam using standard method like how work description works ,by creating two procedures

in the table,

procedure SetWorkDescription(newfield: Text)

var

OutStream: OutStream;

begin

Clear("myfield");

"INTRA_NAME".CreateOutStream(OutStream, TEXTENCODING::UTF8);

OutStream.WriteText(newfield);

Modify();

end;

procedure GetWorkDescription() mynewfield: Text

var

TypeHelper: Codeunit "Type Helper";

InStream: InStream;

begin

CalcFields("myfield");

"INTRA_NAME".CreateInStream(InStream, TEXTENCODING::UTF8);

exit(TypeHelper.TryReadAsTextWithSepAndFieldErrMsg(InStream, TypeHelper.LFSeparator(), FieldName("myfield")));

end;

here what happens is iam trying add the code into the xmlport and on

trigger OnAfterGetRecord()

var

begin

myfield := GetWorkDescription()

end;

but it shows error you cannot use your The name 'GetWorkDescription' does not exist in the current context, so iam really stuck now...

Can you please share the complete object?

Use rich formatting there is a function for inserting code.

Hi, I have done a similar process before, but when exporting, I hope it can give you some reference.
