maximum length For String PAGE

Business Central/NAV Developers Forum

Hi there All,

I am trying to populate a page I created in RTC 2009

but I get the error message "The maximum length for

a string value is 10" . Can anyone please help.

Hi Eddy,

And how long is the definition of this field?

Either check the field definition in the table used by the page or if a variable, then check the variable list. If it’s only a Text 10 or Code 10, then you’ll not be able to enter more than 10 characters.

Actually it’s a field that should be automatically generated and it is of type code.

The field definition in the table is of length 10. and the number series is duly setup.

If you’re using standard NAV functions to generate a No. value from the No. Series definitions, you might note that the return value from those functions is typically a Code20 value. Take a look at the definition of the No. Series that you’re using for this problem field to ensure that it does not produce a value that will exceed 10 characters.

Yes I am using standard NAV functions to generate No. value from the No. Series definitions.

I have checked as you suggested but still it is giving me same error.

OK. Any chance that you could post a copy of the No. Series Line that you’re working with, and the code that you’re using to assign the No. value?
