Ocr reads 255 characters max?

Hi!
I have LV 8.5.1 and NI Vision 8.5.1.
Function "IMAQ OCR Read Text 3" reads only first 255 characters in string. My string is 300 characters long and I set ROI to cover all 300 characters. Same thing happens in Vision Builder 3.5. Is this a bug? Or is there any property that I have to set to read more than 255 characters?
Thanks,
andrej

Thanks for help so far. I have now upgraded to SP2 and the situation is the same.
As far as I see the Cumulative security update is specified to solve IE-related problems. The problem with WebDAV editing of files in portal does as such not involve opening Office documents through IE, but rather editing these in any Office program and saving directly to portal through a mapped network place (a KM folder).
I still cannot see that Microsoft has published anything about a fix for this problem.

Shortcut problem .Max classpath length = 255 characters

Hi all,
The java project I�m working on has many jar files that must be set in the class path , how ever since the max length of the shortcut is 255 characters , I am unable to set the complete path . Is there any option to change this limit or is it possible to set the path to point to the jar directory instead of pointing to individual jars .
Thanks in advance
Jimmy

You need a registry editor for pocket pc. You can one here: http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/regedit.asp
Once you have that installed. Edit these two files:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Java Archive File/Shell/Open/Command/Default
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Java Class File/Shell/Open/Command/Default
from: "\Program Files\Java\bin\pjava.exe" -file "%1"
to: "\Program Files\Java\bin\pjava.exe" -classpath "your_class_paths" -file "%1"
Hope this helps.

Max 255 characters in MS Office file name problem

When saving files via WebDAV to KM folders within collaboration rooms we often hit this limit of 255 characters that Office documents allow for file names (218 for MS Excel).
Because the complete webDAV URL to portal is made up of server name + a lot of portal stuff, the number of characters left for subcatalogs and document within each room is very limited.
Has anyone got a good solution to this problem?
WebDAV url example:
oslpep.agra.int:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/room_extensions/
cm_stores/documents/workspaces/303c5e8a-cb16-2810-9aa7-caaf71de197/subfolder/document.doc
Error message in Excel when saving:
"The file could not be accessed. Try one of the following:
- Make sure the specified folder exists.
- Make sure the folder that contains the file is not read-only.
- Make sure the file name does not contain any of the following characters: < > ? [ ] : | *.
- Make sure the file/path name doesn't contain more than 218 characters."

Unable to read more than 255 characters in a string data type.

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports version 11.5.8.826 to generate reports from databases such as MS-Excel & BaaN.
In Excel, there are records which carry string lengths of more than 255 characters. All though the fields are getting displayed in the report, the data being displayed gets truncated once it reaches a length of 255 characters.
Kindly provide me with a solution this problem.
Regards

Hello Manish,
I know that older versions of Crystal (Crystal 10 and older ) had a limitation of only 256 Characters for a string value. You should be able to use this code to get what you need.
We were successfully able to print out the Declaration of Independence through a Crystal report using something very similiar to this.

I like this version better because the array is completely dynamic. It can be as big or as small as it needs to be. There is always room for optimizations. But hopefully this will get you started on the right path.

How do you use a field for 255 characters plus in HCM?

There is a 255 character max on the fields in the HCM process and forms.
I see some types in there:
QISR_TAB_TYPE
QISR_TAB_TYPE_TEXT
QISR_TAB_TYPE_STRING
I see the text one is for no length restriction, but when I apply it to the field in designtime interface but still everything truncated at 255.
Is there anyway to use more than 255 characters in a form field in adobe livecycle designer - SAP HCM?

1694040 - SAP_PD process description fields truncated - 1429386 DTT - wrong data element visible for generic service fields - 1492109 Wrong generation of fields of type pad_long_text 2. In form scenario - change the data element of affected field from You will have to specify long text using multiple field indices. In form scenario - change the data element of affected field from STRING to PAD_LONG_TEXT. check your generic service again Kindly use the data element PAD_LONG_TEXT for the fields which are to hold more than 255 characters. For the usage of this data element, you may refer to the note 1401338 released by PA-ER for the requisition request process.

How to display more than 255 characters in the report

Hi all,
In my program, i try to output a variable type c length 500 in the report. But this report still keep on display 255 characters only although i had set the line-size to 500.
Is there any method output all characters?
thanks,

DATA : BEGIN OF it OCCURS 500,
        v TYPE c,
        END OF it.
DO 503 TIMES.
IF sy-index = 500.
    WRITE '500'.
ELSE.
    WRITE : 'X' NO-GAP.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.

Excel 2007 to Sql server table. Column with more than 255 characters.

Hi there,
I am facing a problem while converting data from Excel 2007 to SQL server 2005 table. I am using BIDS 2005.I have an excel file where one particular column has more than 255 characters. I use OLEDB connection for excel file as there is no driver for Excel
2007 in BIDS2005. I am using Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider for Excel file.
Next, I changed advanced properties for the column to DT_NTEXT. But when I am getting errors on execution. They are:
[OLE DB Source [1949]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.

XsltCollaboration code file path exceeds 255 characters

All,
I'm trying to build a Deployment Profile for a CAPS project containing an XSLT Collaboration Definition. I managed to build the Deployment Profile previously with persistence turned off. After turning on persistence (Persistence for Reporting set to 'Yes' on the only Business Process in the project) and re-building the Deployment Profile I was greeted with an Exception dialog containing the following:
com.stc.codegen.framework.model.CodeGenException: code generation error at = svcXCDXform - XCE CodeGen
XsltCollaboration code file path
C:\DOCUME~1\DAMIAN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\builds\prjBPXformdpBPXform\svcXCDXform_ejb\xcdXform_Runtime_Handler.java
exceeds 255 characters. Shorten XsltCollaboration name or recreate Connectivity Map with shorter name to solve this problemI don't think turning persistence on has anything to do with this error but mentioned it because that was the only change I made before re-building. Can anyone shed some light on why CodeGen is building in my local temp folder and not the Path which I have set in the Enterprise Designer | Build Options? Is this a completely different path?
FYI - I am using Java CAPS 5.1.2.
Thanks,
Damian

Change the Windows Environment Variables for the Temp folders to something like C:\TMP
Not sure but i've noticed that the folder specified for CODEGEN_LOCATION is ignored in older versions of JCAPS.

Application Server : File writes only 255 characters

Hi Friends,
I am trying to writes data to application server file .
My line size is 1100 charqacters.
When I use open dataset for output in text mode encoding default
and transfer contents to file.
I am only able to write contents upto 255 characters.
Whatever is beyond that I do not see it in AL11.
Is there a way to write more than 255 characters.
I tried CG3Y to view files but it also shows only 255 characters.
Please help.

Hi,
Just find the string length.
In 4.6C version there is a limit of 1500 characters i. e. U can transfer max of 1500 characters in a single transfer. For that we applied below solution. Check this it may help u.
l_len = strlen( p_data ).
DO.
    IF l_len LT 1500.
      TRANSFER p_data+l_offset(l_len) TO p_file.
      MOVE 0 TO l_len.
    ELSE.
      TRANSFER p_data+l_offset(1500) TO p_file.
      SUBTRACT 1500 FROM l_len.
      ADD 1500 TO l_offset.
    ENDIF.
    CHECK l_len EQ 0.
    EXIT.
ENDDO.
p_data has the content to be trasfered of around 6000 characters and the length is dynamic.
Also download the data using CG3Y with BIN to .txt file and see.
If problem is still there then paste ur code of OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER statements.
Try to open the file in TEXT MODE.
eg: OPEN DATASET l_file IN TEXT MODE.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Need Spool file 255 characters for background HR Reports into Excel

We have been looking for a solution for problem this for more than 2 years now.
Problem:
1.     Requirement is to run large HR reports either standard or with Ad Hoc Query in background mode in a company with more than 50,000 employees.
2.     Nobody wants printed reports these days. We want to save the forests. Customers prefer to be emailed an Excel file so they can do further data analysis, filtering, pivot tables etc.
3.     Reports are running OK in foreground for smaller sections of the organisation, where you send the output to Excel from ALV, or save as a local file in spreadsheet format.
4.     But large reports for entire company are awkward, tie up your PCs resources, and complex reports accessing many tables can timeout before completion.
5.     So scheduling these reports to run in background would be the ideal solution.
6.     However when we access the report output from SP02, we find that most reports (say with more than 13 or so fields) have an output wider than 255 characters and the output of the spool file wraps to the next line in Excel. It is very tricky to then parse the data back into one row for each employee. And you have a problem if you output is for 50,000 or so employees, because then you file is 100,000 rows and will not load completely into Excel limit problem of 65,536 characters.
7.     We simply want a spool file that does not wrap the data to the next line after 255 characters.
8.     But how to explain this simple requirement to some technical people. It seems a lot of posts on SDN think we always want to print a spool file. NO remember the forests!
Possible Solutions:
I see a lot of posts here that refer to OSS note 186603, but they dont mention the target for the output of the spool is to import into an Excel File (i.e. spreadsheet format). Just search for 186603 or Spool request with more than 255 columns. There is also a reference to OSS note 313566. I am not sure if these will work?
I have also seen the suggestions that you need to define a customer printer format that does not wrap the output after 255 characters (create a new format type in transaction SPAD).
Can anyone help us!

Hi,
Can you please check whether you can use:
CONSTANTS C_LF TYPE X VALUE '0A'.
CONSTANTS C_CR TYPE X VALUE '0D'.

More than 255 characters in a table text field

Dear experts,
i am facing a problem (in WD Alv too) that i can not display more than 255 characters in a single text field.
I want to display a table containing a description field without a limitation of its length. As soon as providing a (formatted) string longer than 255 characters of length, no interactive form is shown on screen.
Debugging a while, the following error message occurs;
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.ProcessingException: XMLFM Exception - PDF render operation exception, reason code: 0 : InvalidXDPException: Xml parsing error: reference to invalid character number (error code 14) ...
Does anybody have similar problems to mine?
Did anyone resolve the issue to show more than 255 characters in a table in interactive form?
Regards,

      READ TABLE lt_longtext_mast INTO ls_longtext_mast INDEX 1.
      MOVE ls_longtext_mast-longtext TO ls_action_item-zz_description.
This is how i get the text with format (line feeds).
zz_description is type string.
My table is on a page, wrapped in a subform. and zz_description is type text field.
Yes, i maintained "allow multiple lines" and did not limit length somehow.
The problem arises in portal, pressing the preview button of a zform. providing a string <255 characters of length, everything works fine.

File upload gives invalid file name if file name exceeds 255 characters

We are using SharePoint 2010. I have arround 4-5 GB data that I have to upload to document library. That data includes documents (docx, xlsx, pdf etc) with very deep folder structure and long names that can not be changed. When I trying to upload that folder
through Windows explorer or Multiple File Upload or SharePoint workspace but it is not uploading the files with long names.
I know there is a limitation of 255 Characters but is there any workarround to upload that bunch of data!
Thanks,

How does one populate a variable longer than 255 characters?

I have an itab with one field, tdline(132) which is like tline-tdline. The itab contains 10 -25 rows. Each row is really a max of 72 characters of text. I have a vairable V(2000) which is character of size 2000. I want to concatenate all of itab rows into V.
concatenate table itab into variable V separated by space
or similar does not work for me, because, it is putting only the first 255 characters. All characters thereafter are ignored.
The reason I need V(2000) is because I would download it as one of many columns related to a task. Each row of that extract is a set of columns plus this last column which is really an itab of texts.

Hi
U can not display more then 255 char in one cell
u should use condence to remove extra spaces comming in your string and then it'll become of less lenght then u can show it by splitiing it in multiple columns using offset.
Hope it will solve your problem..
