Problems with text variables.. HELP!!

Becka

So... I'm facing the problem with text type variable(which is overflow under type).. I have text variable, with 1024 size.. that's max size in NAV 5.0 as i know .. so.. If any ideas about how to resolve my problem? thanks in advice... Thanks again

what are u going to do with this string?if you are reading something from a text file, you can read 1024 chr at time and put them in an array of txt1024
if you are writing to a file, you can write 1024 chr at time...
maybe you can use blob or bigtext datatype, but i'm not familiar with them, maybe someone can say something more...

I'm trying to write into a txt file... I don't know if BLOB or BigText is the key to my problem.. I'll try later.. thanks anyway

then, try to write 1024 chr at time using copystr (you shouldn't use a dataport for this purpose)
