I have the following code in a formula in a Crystal report:

StringVar suspect_tube;
If {tubestats.slist} <> "" then
suspect_tube:=suspect_tube + CHR(13) + {tubestats.slist} else
suspect_tube;

The problem is that the field {tubestats.slist} is a memo field and when this formula runs, I get an error that you can't use a memo field in a Crystal formula. Is this true?

So to work around the error, I changed the field from MEMO to CHAR length 250. But now I get the error, Max length of a char field is 254 characters or Char field limit is 254 or is too long. I forget the exact error message, but I am pretty sure 254 chars is in the message.

Any ideas what I can do to solve this one?
