Truncated output - VString to String formula error

Hi,

 

It is cutting my address due to character limit it seems due to it changing my VString in select tool to greyed out String in the next formula - how do I change this to stay a VString? formula ?

 

 

thanks

The tool before the Formula tool shows it as VString, but the formula tool shows it as String?

Try adding a select tool and setting Data type as v-string and changing length as per requirement.

There is a select Tool before and it is a V_String and then it autmatically changes to string and no option to change datatype bc it is greyed out. I insert a new formula tool and try this again and it is first a VString then as soon as I get out of that tool and come right back, its changed to string and greyed out again? does this happen to anyone as well?

is it possible to share the sample? because this usually does not happen.
