description length

lally

Hi Savatage,

[
For example I creted one item name : As-copper bearing industril coil
For this item I put this part "As-copper bearing" in description field.
Next part i put in description2 field.

Now in item -list report i changed the source expression
as item description+' '+item description2,

But it is not showing any thing.
What is problem. what's going wrong #-o

In that above thread u suggested Like this
Item description+' '+itemdescription2, I tried like this i could not get that result.


Thanks in advance

You either are looking at the wrong item or you are using the wrong code.
Or both ...

Without context hard to say. More info needed...

Strange to see a reply as a topic but just to clarify
item description+' '+item description2, is wrong.

Item.Description+' '+Item."Description 2"

the dots & quotes are important.

Thanks Savatage,


I have one more doubt . If i have 3 fields of descrip[tion. How to club that one as single description.

Description 1 , Description 2, Description 3.

Thanks and regards

This "description length" question is almost as old as existance of this forum

Why you don`t simply add a field "Long Description" of required length? It has been adviced here bazillion times already...

Thanks Modric,

What my problem is In item table u have 2 fields regarding descripton.
Description , Description 2. This includes 60. Now i want 25 of another field. For 500 items has contain matter Description, Description 2.
For this 500 items I need one more field. I need to add data for all 500 items in 3rd description.
That's i add that field. So it is easy. To get print in reports.

This is not my advice.This is Mibuso experts advice.

Thanks and regards
