Download tool return string size

Hi. I am using the Download tool to get some xml data. Unfortunately the data returned exceeds the length/char size of a V_WString so part of the data was cut off. May I know if there's a way to reduce the size to write (say if I already know the xml nodes that I need to get), or possible to use other data types to store it?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply @BenMoss.

Yeah I tried outputting to undelimited, yxdb, and xlsx and the string seems to be truncated. Character count is at 8390 - I thanks that's the limit of v_wstring?

I did try to configure output directly to file within the Download Tool but couldn't figure out how to set the file type...

How about a BLOB?

Usually the result from a download tool shows as if it is truncated but actually it is not.

I would suggest you write the data as an undelimited (\0) text file and open in a text editor to truly understand whether the response is malformed, my feeling is that it isn't actually.

Alternatively you can write the response straight to a file and then read this in subsequently. This may resolve the issue.
