Does anyone know of a workaround for the field size limitation of 255 characters? I have an InfoPath form which is tied to a workflow. I send the infopath fields to the workflow but because it has a limit of 255 it truncates the data. I would like to somehow be able to send all the data to the workflow.
Workflow Text Field Limit of 255 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn292551(v=office.15).aspx
The limit of 255 characters applies to a single line text field only. Use a multi-line text field instead, which can take way more than 255 characters.

I am performing a mail merge and have an issue when trying to correct the percentage format. The problem is that the source column contains both a percent value and text. If I map the field, percents display as decimal in word. If I use the following, it displays correctly:
{=«Percent»*100 # 0%}
However, now when the row contains text I receive an error.
Is there another way I can do this?
Here is the formula you need
{={MERGEFIELD XYZ}*100\ #0.00%}
No, Word has no way to do string manipulation in its fields. Add another field / column to your data source for the text, or format the percentile in Excel before performing the merge.
Message => FRM-40831: Truncation occurred: value too long for field PHONE.
I have table named 'CLIENT'. The table has many fields. One of the field name is 'PHONE'. The field data type and length is VARCHAR2(20 byte). By using the 'CLIENT' table I have created a form using Forms Developer 10g. It works fine. But I have changed the field length and Forms Property Value as VARCHAR2(40 byte) and Forms Property > Maximum Length = 40. Now the Form data save smoothly. But when I am going to retrieve data the message shows => FRM-40831: Truncation occurred: value too long for field PHONE.
N.B: The message shows when it gates the value over than 20 characters otherwise not.
How to solve the problem?
Please help me.
Apparently you are facing the multi-byte character set problem.
Define your column as VARCHAR2(40 CHAR).
Currently the column can contain only 40 bytes, so if - as I assume - you use multi-byte character set in your database, the truncation occurs.
I have a form on Word 13 with text input fields and Drop-down list content control. Each option in the drop down list cannot exceed a certain number of characters,is there a way to set the character limit? I have very long values for the options and they get truncated. Just to add, I simply used the content control properties to add the options.
I'm not using any coding or so yet.
Please advice on how can I increase drop down option character limit or set it to unlimited chars?
Thanks in advance.
im using the pgsql2shp tool to generate *.shp files from geometries in Postgres. The thing is that I have a description colomn with a lot of text. In the Postgres DB it is of type text. But when I use pgsql2shp these columns are cut-off to max 254 characters it makes a varchar(254) of this column.
Any ideas to make this work?
After some more googling and asking around, i found out that the accompanying dbf file with *.shp is based on a dBase IV format. This has a maximum length of a text field = 254 characters. Therefore it cuts the text off.
So I need to find some other solution.
As you have discovered, this is a limitation of Shapefiles. To get more characters in the output, you need to export to a different format.
You can use ogr2ogr to convert the spatial data into several different formats, such as Spatialite, GeoJSON, etc.
I am looking for a way to limit the entry size of a textbox for an SSRS parameter. The report is being rendered in ReportServer 2008. To be clear, this is NOT a textbox rendered in the report.
The report is accepting a limited number of characters for a text search, and I would like the presentation layer to match the report/SQL logic entry limit. I do not want to get 100 chars passed into a VARCHAR(20) field and produce a silent error.
Thanks!
There is no option to limit the length directly. One possible solution would be to have the report return a warning message indicating that the parameter is too long instead of running the query. You can do this by adding a hidden parameter after the parameter in question to be used as a flag that determines the visibility of the objects on the report.
