EQ Spare Parts List error "There are too many characters in string"
Symptoms:
This error only happens sporadically when running the Parts List report from equipment. The cause was the length of the EQ name. It went to the max of 255 characters. Crystal has a max string length of 254. When concatenated with the EQ# and report title it put it well over 255.
Solution:
I changed the program to pass only 200 characters of the equipment name. That + the equipment id + report title will still be < 254. I found that if an individual string is > 254 you get the error that the 'string can't be more than 254'. But if a bunch of contatenated strings together are > 254 you get the error 'too many characters in string' - very confusing. I also added a 'can grow' on the title in the .rpt file so that it will show the maximum possible of the passed name (2 lines).
