Are Datawindow objects limited to 4000 characters? 1

[acspbdev]

I'm a developer using PB V11.2 Build 8739. I have a datawindow object that uses a DB2 VarChar column with an 8000 char limit. The column was originally 4000 (and the app worked correctly) but the database needed to be expanded to 8000. After rebuilding the dw object to include the 8000 chars and the app itself, although the datawindow object retrieves and displays more than 4000 characters, it will not accept typing in any characters past 4000. I can retrieve a record that has 4003 characters in it, backspace 4, and can only add 1 character back. Is there a 4000 character limit and I need to develop a split workaround, or is there a setting somewhere that I can change? Thanks for any help!

In the edit property tab for the field, is there a limit?

Thanks, Matt! Yes, I was at the point of rebuilding the dw from scratch when I found the limit of 4000 set in the edit property. I can't believe I didn't check that to begin with. Too easy I guess. Just another ID-10-T error.
