SYMPTOM(s):
The DISPLAY statement is not displaying all the string.
Running code similar to the following:
DEFINE VARIABLE c AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN
c = "1234567890".
DISPLAY c.
displays "12345678" and not the whole "1234567890" string.
CAUSE:
This is expected behavior. The default DISPLAY format for character variables is "X(8)".
FIX:
Use the FORMAT option of the DISPLAY statement to specify the number of characters to be displayed:
DEFINE VARIABLE c AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN
c = "1234567890".
DISPLAY c FORMAT "X(10)".
