UD Field Length Vantage 8.03.407

Careful, I'm not sure what this does to any warranties.

Those fields are supposed to be char(1000) but you can actually put a lot
more in them and the only thing that will blow up is Crystal. To correct
that you need to go into the Progress Data Dictionary tool. Click on the
table you want to modify, click on the field and go to the field properties.
You can then change the length of the field so that Crystal will be happy. I
believe you'll have to restart things and re-verify crystal. We just had
someone who was putting in strings of over 3500 characters and it was
storing it but Crystal had a problem getting it out.



I'd think that using a UD table for this type of thing would work better,
having a key of Order/Line and maybe a date-time (down to milliseconds)

Not sure I follow completely....
I thought the Character 01-10 fielda were 1000 bytes which equates to 2000
characters and if you need more than that for a comment, how about
concatenating several fields in your output.

I am working on installing the EPM and Performance Canvas, etc.. Once I have everything installed I try to install the licenses for EPM by going to Manage Server, as the documentation directs, but when I open the Manage Server software I get a Microsoft Management Console error that reads as follows: MMC has detected an error in snap-in and will now unload it.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling EPM as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the c++ redistributables for our OS. Can anyone offer any insight on what might be the problem and how I can fix it?

Server 2003 x64 SP2


Thanks in advance,

Aaron

If I want to create a UserDefined table for comments none of the UD tables have fields longer than 1000 characters so for instance, there will be a Comment Library for a various sort of reasons on a Sales Order Entry Lines for various customers; so I want a UltraCombo box to go to this UD table and bring in various commens based on the OrderDtl.ProdCode....and CustID
howeve none of the UD fields have fields longer than 1000 characters. What have any of you used.

E9 has the ability to extend properties now.
