Joyce, Yes, but you can set a "T" in attribute 9 for the report to wrap at that length such that any further text will display on the next line, breaking at the nearest space, if one exists.
As previously stated, if you or your customer is paying for jBASE Support, then the best place to obtain information is to email supp...@zumasys.com<mailto:supp...@zumasys.com>. Zumasys/jBASE also offers training courses in jBASE Fundamentals. Alternatively, if you are working on Globus/T24, then there are also Temenos specific forums.

Let's say I create a report and make a synonym for a field. My synonym is named "ReportDescrip" and has a length specified in the dictionary as 20. So if I call the synonym from my report, will it then limit the value it returns to the specified dictionary length?

There is no relationship between the dictionary and the data in terms of actual field length. The length set in the dictionary was determined by the original implementor based on suitability for display/print purposes. You will often find that there are several synonym items for the same field with different lengths depending on the requirements for a certain report.

My dictionary looks like below, so I thought the length was 35. But I can go into records and type values with lengths much longer than 35 into field 1. In fact, there doesn't seem to BE a limit. What gives?
