254 Character Limitation - is there a fix yet?

[idautomation]

Does anyone know if the 254 Character Limitation still exists on all stringVars (string variables) in the latest version? I have version 8 now and with this version there is no way to place more than 254 Characters in a stringvar.

We have some requirements for our customers to create very large barcodes that require 1000 to 2000 characters.

Thanks!!

No, that limitation is gone in CR 9.

You can let your customers have 1000 character barcodes in older versiions too, just build multiple SQL Expressions or a View to section the field up into 254 or less, and then drop them all into a text box, it'll print as a single field.
