If u are creating a data element, or domain,

make it

CHAR 255[ DO NOT USE LCHR, STRING ETC ]

It will give message on activation.

(But don't worry,it is just a warning (YELLOW COLOUR MESSAGE)

The message only tells that

the field will be visible on screen

for less characters, however, it will store

all characters.

Hi,

I know it is too late to answer to this question, but I couldn't find its answer anywhere on the net or on SDN(when I needed it). Now finally I found the answer and posting on this forum...may it help my friends in future.

For saving value into LCHR type field you need to have the field before it of type INT2. So when you want to save the value, calculate the field length by using "strlen" keyword. Now when saving also save the value of this field length into the INT2 type field.

Hope it will help.

Thanks,
