Dynamic Address Burst Issue

I am having an issue with my dynamic address list for bursting my report. The log file indicates it worked, but instead of just using the email address, it tacks on "000018" to the beginning. So instead of john.doe@domain.com, it comes out as 000018john.doe@domain.com

Any ideas?

We are using WebFOCUS 7.1.3

I now realize what the number is in front, it is the number of characters in the email address. Also, the burst value has 000004 in front of the burst value because it is 4 characters long.

Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

Tom, Do not know why this is happening but create a DEFINE field that is not a VARCHAR field example EMAILADDR/A78 instead of using the real field and use it. This should resolve your issue. When you create or hold VARCHAR fields WebFOCUS taks this on to the front so it know how long the field is.

Hope this helps




Scott
