Former Member — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 09:12:55 GMT

i need to create a z table in which i need to declare some 7 fields which are more than 255 chars in size . so i have created a data element and made the reference field as tring . when i try to activate the table it says that the no of fields with long texts cannot be greater then 3.

any pointers for solving the issue would be helpful.

Hi,

Try and see if you can use LCHR instead, but you need to have one field extra for each field to store the CHARACTER Fields length.

<b>Sorry you cannot have more than one LCHR.</b>

SO you might have to split you table into 2 or 3 based on your requirement.

Sesh
