RAP and string-length

rbuser

Hi!

I have D5 with RB 7.04. In a RAP-Function I want to set a String > 500
charactes to the Report. But as far as I can see there seams to be a
limit at 240 characters? Is there any way to pass longer strings to
report via RAP?

Thanks

Internally variants are used. Perhaps there is limitation on the length of
variant strings. I tied to search for information about this but did not
find anything.

RAP supports TStringList. One solution might be to pass a string list to a
RAP pass-through function. See article below.

Article: Extending RAP
---------------------------------------------------

There are two very simple and powerful techniques to extend the capabilities
of RAP infinitely. These are summarized below and covered in more detail in
the RAP.hlp online help. Demos and tutorials are installed to
RBuilder\Demos\RAP. The tutorial text is located in RAP.hlp.


1. RAP Pass-Through Functions

These are functions that appear in the Language tab of RAP's Code Toolbox.
These functions are written in Delphi and can be called from RAP. RAP's
pass-through function architecture enable's developers to add new built-in
functions to RAP's code toolbox.

2. Extend RAP's RTTI

RAP's Run-time Type information defines what classes and properties can be
accessed via RAP. By default the published properties of any class that is
registered with Delphi's RegisterClass procedure is recognized by RAP. In
addition many of the public properties and methods of ReportBuilder classes
are exposed.
