Kind of a weird issue since this report worked at one point.
We have a sales order report that we have formatted a barcode to scan a pattern file during manufacture. To create it, we are using Insert Data Object into a Text Field on the form. The text is *$(Description Line 1:2001)$.PAT*.
It takes the first line of the description line and puts a * in front and .pat* behind. We put our drawing code on the first line followed by a CTRL-ENTER line feed in the sales order description. The problem is that where it used to work fine, somewhere along the way it is only reading 11 characters into the variable. We can string a couple together, but it doesn't work right if we have a very long or very short drawing code.
So what do you think has happened? Can I change the length of what is read into variable? I use $(Description For Sales:2006)$ without a similar problem of being limited to 11 characters. I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks in advance.
