Configuration Package - value on custom Blob field is exported as "*"

Posted on by Damjan Zakojc 447

Hi All,

Do you have any idea how to export text from custom Blob field?

I have extended base objects T5065 - Interaction Log Entries with new field data type BLOB.

Everything works as expected, but the value in that custom Blob field is being exported with "*", this does not make any sense since I believe I would need to add the logic to read the blob InStr and save it as OutStr when procedure to export data from table is being executed.
Is this true - should I export data from Blob field using custom procedure to read and save blob value? Since this blob values have only text inside I can stumble upon the Excel issue of cell length limitation.

Thanks Damjan
