Using WF 5.3.2 on NT with Lotus Notes DB I am having a problem passing more than 254 characters in a single field. Does anyone know a way around this?

Hi PBrightwell and all,

FYI, this one is answered in a case: The NOTESSQL ODBC driver is limiting this. By default it will bring back a Maximum of 254 characters for a text feild.

Within the DataSource of the NOTESSQL go into OPTIONS, then change the value of "max length of text fields" to the desired value then refresh or re-create synonym.

Hope this helps. Smiler

Cheers,

Kerry

FYI,

This did work, but I had to manually adjust all of my MFDs (synonyms). The fields were all changed from A254 to TX2000. Refreshing worked better than re-creating them.

[SOLVED] - I'll be posting a separate blow-by-blow description of how to connect WebFocus to Lotus Notes and obtain desired results.

I am resurrecting this old thread because we have just implemented Lotus Notes -> WF reporting.

It appears that WF retrieves only 127 characters at the moment - in fact all fields retrieved are 127 characters long and changing things in the MFD makes no difference.

I see Kerry's fix above, but where would I find the options to make the change? Of course we are using JDBC now, not ODBC.
