Hi Oleg,

I am converting all my TXR (ReportWriter) reports to your FRB reports.
That's good news. I think (know) FRB is a VERY POWERFULL tool!

I have some TXR reports with very large formulas (expressions).
In the Clarion ReportWriter no problem with these large expressions.

In FRB I get stuck at:

1. User Variables -> Calculated Fields:
"Field/expression to total" => LIMIT of 512 chars!

2. Frame properties -> Contents (of "Customary frame") => LIMIT of 255 chars!

So in FRB my computed/conditional fields WON'T FIT and now I have a big problem
with converting from TXR to FRB.

Is it possible that you change this limit to 1024 chars in both cases? (see
above)

I think other people would also be happy when this get fixed. ;-)

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards

Jeffrey

Hi

Why stop at 1024? Why not CString(30001)

Hi,

In the past, I exerienced this problem too. Si I divided my fromulas in more
formulas, but this is too complex.

So Oleg:

Can it be changed to more chars?

Best regards

Jeffrey,

Of course, it can be changed. But some difficulty may be involved because of
fixed structure of the TOPSPEED superfile (*.rpt file) which is used to store
FRB report layout. But I shall see what I can do to overcome this.

Best regards,

Hi Oleg,

It would be great if you can change this!! ;-))
Then I can convert all my TXR files.
I am now stuck at the moment, because I need more space for my formulas.

Do you have any idea when you can fix this?

Best regards and thanks a lot

Jeffrey
