When using ttadv3180m000 - Maintain Query Data, a user wants to create a report that is larger than the A3 for Text Files print option. I have tried to create a report default size greater than 255 wide but Baan will not let me. Is there a way around this or is 255 the largest?

The report will not be printed we just need to create a flat file.

I have asked Baan support and they say it cannot be done :( but I thought I would check with the "community" before I give up on this one.

Thanks

P.S. Don;t ask me why a user needs a report wider than 255

If it was another number I would bet it could be increased, but a full byte value (0-255) as limitation, looks like a programming limitation, so I think you are stuck with it. :(

Since its a report limitation,

I suggest u better create an update session or 3GL script, which will create an ASCII file rather. (you can use command : seq.open, puts, putc, seq.close etc..).

This works for us. We can have fields concatenated with delimiters of users choice

Thank you for your replies.

I don't really know enough, if anything, about 3GL so I will leave things as they are.

Vishbaan - you say create an update session or 3GL script. Would this be against ttadv3180? If so I thought you couldn't make any changes against tt objects?

Hi,

If it is a limitation or constraint that Baan has/have try use other options outside of Baan. For example if you're database is Oracle or any other use SQL scripts to write the report.

Hi,

Instead of a query,

I suggested a session which will filter the required data and put the result into an ascii file (can have more than 232 columns)

Its an easy process, try it out.
