Hi,

We have a problem with SAP long texts.
Crystal 2013 reads a CSV table with long texts and the field type memo or string (255) is set when reading the first record.

When the long text contains less then 255 characters it becomes a string field, everything there after is read as a string, even fields with longer texts.
It should always be a memo field.

The first record isn't always the first record in the table due to selection, sorting and grouping.

Any ideas how to fix this ?

Thank you
