Unwanted truncation for Concatenations

Hi,

 

I am currently trying to concatenate large sets of strings into a single field however my data keeps getting truncated.

The data is being loaded via a CSV and i have also tried setting the field Length to a large number but still see truncation at input and after summary tool

Below is some sample data and expected output and also some screenshot of what I get.

 

I am hoping someone can assist in me getting the expected output (No truncating data)

THanks in advance

Try this - add a select tool between the input data and the summarize. Use the select tool to manually increase the size of the text field. There is a bit of Autofield-ing (automatically shrinking the size of the text field) that can go in after the input data tool so your summarize tool is truncating it.

Hi @aka_ash,

 

The results view has a limit on the length of text displayed, your data is still there. Adding a Browse tool will allow you to see the full text.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers,

Lelia

Interesting..  I did not change your workflow at all, just downloaded it, and I got this result from the Browse Tool.  I am using Version: 2022.1.1.25127

That isn't truncated data. That's the size of the browse window. Export that data or copy it into notepad.

I got it.  Yes.  That is right.  It is fine when I exported it.

Thanks!
