You need to write a custom functoid with the following code
public static string truncate(string param1, int desiredLength)
string retval = System.String.Empty;
if (param1.Length <= desiredLength)
string formatString = System.String.Format("\{0,-{0}\}", desiredLength);
retval = System.String.Format(formatString, param1);
else
retval = param1.Substring(0, desiredLength);
return retval;
This method takes 2 parameters - the string and the desiredLength and checks if the string is of the desired length, in case it is shorter, it outputs a formatted string [right padded with spaces] of the desired length. If it is longer then it truncates the
string to the desired length.
