Hi All,

(4D Client/Server, All Windows environment, 4D v16R5)

We have a 20 yr old application currently running under 4D v16R5.  It has 
obviously been converted several times over the years.  One behavior I noticed 
this week that seems odd is:  Text Fields are truncated at 32k in the UI.  They 
store much more, but only display the first 32k worth of characters.  

Interesting enough, I placed one such field on an input form and opened the 
record.  Programmatically I highlighted a section of text that I knew was 
beyond the visible 32k, then I manually hit the delete button.  That 
“invisible” text was deleted. (Verified by a Position call.)

Is this normal or some residue of the applications old pre-unicode days?  Can I 
change a setting to allow full view of the fields content?  It is causing us 
headaches in some of our old client records...

Thanks in advance for your insights…

Kirk
