Data Type for a GL String

nwilder

Hello,

 

One column of my Input Data contains GL Strings (ex: 101.0000.0000.615012.000.0000.000) 

 

I would like to output the full GL String in my output file but it seems like no matter what data type I assign to it, some of the trailing zeros still are cut off.  

 

I have been using the Select Tool to assign data types.  Any ideas of what tool to use and/or data type to assign in order to keep the full GL string?

 

Thanks for the help!

Hi @nwilder 

 

Did you try setting it as string datatypes like V_String.

Hi @nwilder 

 

I am able to get the whole string. Can I know what is the issue you are facing.

Hi there, thanks for the quick reply, After doing more digging I believe the issue occurs when I create a Table (it cuts off the data string).  Any ideas where in the table settings I can change this?

Hi @nwilder 

 

This might be because the page layout width is insufficient. Please increase page layout width in render tool refer the below-highlighted option.
