We have similar-sized data. As long as you are on SP11 or higher, content conversion can take in that many characters when defining all your fields, yes. Remember content conversion is only made for header/lines - not nested children/grandchildren, etc.

I would suggest exporting your data type, and using some TextPad tool to pull out your field names - because if you spell them wrong in content conversion, you'll have a fun time finding your errors.

Happy typing...

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for your input...We are using it only in header/lines..I am planning on creating an XSD externally and input them into repository as external definitions..

I guess thats mcuh easier than creating them as data types..
