It would be very helpful if Datawindow computed fields supported the UseEllipsis property - in particular, to warn that a too-large computed value is truncated. I notice this was asked for back in the old Sybase news group.
Does anyone have a work around, or perhaps can suggest what I may have missed?
Thanks!
Dan.
Hi Dan;
Yes, ellipses on DW CC's would be great! I wish former PB versions had implemented that too. As a workaround ... please use an SQL Computed Column, as follows:
SQL (example):
"contact"."first_name" || ', ' || "contact"."last_name" cc_full_name

Please feel free to create a ticket on this shortcoming and we'll see if we can get Engineering to add it to their enhacement list.
HTH
