How to return string over 1028 max text data type length?

Hi All:

I create a codeunit try to return xml format data and it will over 1028 max text datatype length . But codeunit return value datatype not allow bigtext. How could I do it ?

TallyHo

Create function GetTheResult
Add Parameter for Bigtext as VAR.
Exit the Bigtext.

GetTheResult(VAR TheResult : BigText)
TheResult := GlobalBigText;


Now when calling the cu you populate the global bigtext during runtime of the CU.
After CU runnning is done, call the GetTheResult function.
You hav to use a CU declared as variable for this, you cannot use codeunit.run("123");

Depending your NAV version you could also create a Text variable without Length.

MyFunction(VAR MyParameter : Text)

instead of

MyFunction(VAR MyParameter : Text[1024])

P.S. max length is 1024
