Crystal Reports - Maximum String Length 65534

Hi All,

I’m new to crystal reports and have come up against a pre-existing problem in a report that I’ve been tasked with resolving.

We have a web application that creates a PDF file on the fly from a crystal report rpt file, which in turn is made of of sub reports.

In the resultant PDF a string field is being truncated, from what I can tell due to the string written to the Forumla Field being greater in length than 65534 characters.

I’ve read on some forums that this is the maximum string length. Can anyone confirm this?

Also, is there a work around for this? Can I concatenate several string fields to make a single string longer than 65534 characters, or would I still have the same problem?

Any help would be massively appreciated

Regards

I do not believe that any solution exists for your situation.

Go into Crystal’s online help, and search for “Limitations (Crystal syntax)”. This is the core list of limits.
