Hi

In PI 7.1 you can validate field length. u can Validate XML message.

Hi,

You just create the field as string and don't worry about the field length. XI will take care of it.

Are you on XI3.0/Pi 7.0 or PI 7.1?

if its XI3.0/Pi 7.0, then note that XI doesn't validate the length of the data/field even though the option is there.

Else if you are on PI 7.1, you can expect validation.
