Table Field content is truncated

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My table has a field of data type LCHR with a length of 32,000 (I've also created a field of data type INT2 preceeding it). Now when I try to extract the data from the LCHR table-field (32,000 length) using an 'ABAP' the extract is truncated to 255 characters.

Can you tell me why this is happening and provide a solution please. Thanks.

Hi

Are you sure it's truncated? Or you can onlsy see the first 255 char?

Hi Max,

Thanks for replying.

Well what I'm doing is using 'WS_DOWNLOAD' (with the DBF filetype) and then when I open it up in MS Access I can only see 255 char in the field.

Rgds,

Hi Manu,

How did you extract the lchar data into an internal table before you call the Download function module?

Hi All,

It was a problem with MS Access. Downloading into a .txt file brought back the entire field.

Thanks anyway.

Hi,

Can you give us you code for selection and the declaration of target?
