Change column size(StringSize) does not work in custom table in AX 2009.

Hi All,

I've created custom table in AX 2009. Insertion, updation and deletion is working fine using x++ code.

But when I am trying to change one of the field size "StringSize" property then it gives error of "String and binary data truncated" during insert. If I revert back the column size to default which is 10 then it works.

Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks

Arun

    Have you tried to use String EDT?

    Aren't you trying to insert a longer string than your field can store?

    You are getting this error "String and binary data truncated" because when you are trying to insert string data into that particular field that does not fit in that field. So once try using EDT of desired string size.

    Hi Martin,

    When I left it default size(10) then it cuts the string which I want to insert and when I try to increase the size(my string is 15 characters long) to 20 still it gave me error.

    Hi Gautam,

    I've not tried with EDT yet.

    For that I just have to create a EDT and assign it to field. Is that right?

    What error did you get when you change the property StringSize?

    You can create a new string EDT or you can use standard one like "Name" it's stringsize would be 60 char.

    I am getting this error "String or binary data would be truncated."

    I'm guessing this error you get when you try to insert data in that field and i told the reason also. What error you're getting when you change the StringSize property of that field?

    I've tried with Name EDT and still it gives me this error:-

    "Cannot create a record in SalesOrderBatch (SalesOrderBatch).

    The SQL database has issued an error." and  

    "SQL error description: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]String or binary data would be truncated."
