We have a need to truncate the filename to 12 characters in our BOM repeat region. Is there a trick in repeat region that this can be done? Can this be done using relation? If so, has anyone done it and willing to share?

Calvin,

You can use repeat region relation:

actual_length = STRING_LENGTH(asm_mbr_name)

display_length = actual_length

if (actual_length > 12)

display_length = 12

else

display_length = STRING_LENGTH(asm_mbr_name)

endif

display_name = EXTRACT(asm_mbr_name, 1, display_length)

Add report parameter rpt > rel > user defined display_name
