We have a report in which the data in column 3 with format A25 will be truncated to different length (Omaha/Epply Airport could be printed Omah in row 2, Omaha/Eppl in row 3 etc). This only happens when the output format is Excel 2k,and the report is ran through ReportCaster. If we don�t run the report through ReportCaster, the report is good whatever the output format is. If we comment out the drill down portion in the style sheet, the report is good too. If we change output format to PDF with style sheet and drill down and run through ReportCaster, the report is also good. This report works perfect in version 4.36, but not in version 5.33. Anyone in this community has seen such a behavior.
We opened a case with IBI more than 2 weeks ago, and we have not got any answer yet, and they are not very helpful in this case as far.

We don't use text field. Our application is very complex one, and the programs contain many amper variables passed from GUI, SU databases, and report setting programs. To generate one report, there are more than a dozen of programs being called. It is not easy to post the focexec programs and data files to be here.
However I had a desktop streaming session with IBI and showed them how the problem happens. It is very strange the data in column 3 truncated randomly.

what happens if you CTRAN the / to another character, say a dash - ? if you try that, and it works, then you 'll know it has something to do with the / character.

I narrowed down the problem, it is related the number of characters in the url argument. If I omitted 10 characters, it worked. However, according to the document, the max length is 800, and our length is only 473.
