David. You want to display 1.39 GB in a field? Will it scroll?
I made a quick test stack that created a variable with a length of 1.4 GB. No problem. But when I tried to put that variable into a field, LC crashed. When I tried to put 140 MB into a field, same crash. I did not continue to reduce the length of that variable until the field could be loaded.
