my stored procedure returns a field value of length more than 65 characters. when I have that field on the crystal report... it is returning 50 characters only. Is there any limitaion on the numbers of chars in crystal reports?

Can any one please help me in resolving this issue
 
In Crystal 8.5 there was a limit of 255, not for higher versions. (It helps to give your Crystal version - 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11 or whatever.)

In this case, I suspect you are getting truncation. A word field will usually truncate extra characters unless you tell it to word-wrap.

To fix this, right-click and choose [Format Field]. Then look for Can Grow on the [Common] tab.

There are also commands life Left and Length that would let you chop the field up into pieces, if that's what you want.
