Hi,

I've got an interesting problem with an Info/Access dictionary item. The
dictionary looks up a value from a second file and concatenates it to
the key into the second file.

On output of the resulting value, the output gets truncated at character 48.

NOTE: This is happening when breaking on the value - not when being
output in a simple list.

I can't find any reference to this type of truncation in the
documentation. Has anyone else experienced this?

Dictionary item:

001 S
002 1
003 HS Code & Description
004
005
006
007 ML
008 A; (1):": "1)(THS10;X;;3)
009 T
010 55

File HS10

ID = 5101.29.00.02
Attr 1 = Very long description
Attr 2 = KGM
Attr 3 = Clean wool: not shorn < 24.5 microns

Output from dictionary item:

5101.29.00.02: Clean wool: not shorn< 24.5 micr

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian Speirs

Hi Brian,

your problem has something to do with the space available for output.
This isn't necessarily related to the dictionary of the breaking value
but on the other dictionaries if you total or break on them.
Sometimes you have to change the order of the columns to display the
full breaking value.

On Microdata systems, for the longest time, the break-on values were limited
to 24 characters. Feel lucky you got 48!

Thanks for the info. We'll see what work-arounds we can come up with.
