Sandy,
Did you try SET REPORTBEHAVIOR 80 ?
>With the transfer from 8.0 to 9, we are having an issue of the "Default Trimming" on character fields. Instead of truncating if the value is too large for the field on the report (as was the case in previous versions) we are getting blank fields (which, for our users, is much worse). Can anyone define this default trimming and how can we avoid these blanks??
