Hi All, 

 

I want to export the result as ESRI Shapefile with polygon data.

However, the column name in exported shapefile is cutted at 10 digits.

Is there a limit to the number of characters on exporting shapefile and could you tell me how to remove the limit ?

I don't believe there is a bypass for the 10 character field name limit. Your options are different file types or different field names. 

No other file types could be used? What are you exporting for?
