Repport shows only the first 266 characters from textfile

edited July 2004 in General
I'm having a problem with a text pipeline.

In a text file I've got the field information that needs to be displayed on
my report.
I've created a TppTextPipeline object and set the Filename to the header
file. I've also changed the Filetype to custom and set the customdelimter to
#254(the delimter sign we use in our text file).

After setting the names of the fields I created a repport.
But my report only shows the first 266 characters from my text file(spread
over different DBText fields) How could this happen?

Thnx for your help :)

    Hi Wouter,

    Did you receive the email I sent you last week about this issue? Here is
    the explaination again :).

    The reason you are only seeing a limited number of characters is because you
    are not setting the FieldLength property for each field in your TextPipeline
    large enough. I believe the default is 10 and many of your fields take up
    more than 10 characters. You will need to right click over the TextPipeline
    and enter the Fields Editor. Then clicking on each field in the list, use
    the Object Inspector to increase the value of the FieldLength property.
