Re: Field length in export Wizard

Can someone tell me;

The field lengths that are automatically defined in the export wizard [Step5of9] - are these generated from an assessment of all of the records lengths, or just from the first x% of records?

I ask because I have found curtailing of the data in certain situations and I dont know whether this curtailing has occurred at this point in the process, or something Ive screwed up.

Thanks

Hi Matt,

The field lengths appear to be automatically calculated from the first 100 records or so.  Manaully extending the field lengths should resolve any truncation errors you're encountering.
