    Hi ashwini,

    I think its not possible in the standard version.

    Since the maximum size of the text box is 250.

    Hi Ashwini,

    I think you can  use blob for a text field.(Not Sure about this.)

    BLOB is used to insert images  in the tables.

    Please go through the below link for further understanding.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../blob-data-type.

    Please mark it as verified if found useful.

    You can separate two text fields and concatenate it while printing in a report

    PrintText: Textt1 + Text2

    Hi ,

    I am using  below code,

    for getting data using BLOB

    Add to trigger Desc3Txt – OnAssistEdit()

    // OutStr | OutStream

    // EditCtrl | DotNet | Archer.TextEdit.'Archer.TextEdit, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1465b259ee2284cb'

    CLEAR(EditCtrl);

    EditCtrl := EditCtrl.TextEdit;

    EditCtrl.Load(Desc3Txt);

    EditCtrl.ShowDialog;

    Desc3Txt := EditCtrl.Save;

    EditCtrl.Close;

    CLEAR(EditCtrl);

    "Description 3".CREATEOUTSTREAM(OutStr);

    OutStr.WRITE(Desc3Txt);

    MODIFY;

    CurrPage.UPDATE;

    i have created the variable EditCtrl   as dotnet variable bu i cant find this assembly reference for edit----------->Archer.TextEdit.'Archer.TextEdit, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1465b259ee2284cb'

    Please check this blog, you can use BLOB and store the text as then use variable to retrieve the value.
