Hi,

i'm populating aglobal variable with some characters. it's of the string datatype the global variable is, though when putting lots of stuff into it, the GV doesnt hold all of it and ends up being truncated.

So what data type do i assign to the GV so that it holds say up to 2 or 4 or 8 thousand odd charcaters???
 
Maybe a TEXT data type but DANG ... what are you loading that would be an 8,000 character global variable?

Thanks
