Tony Stark	Friday 29 February 2008 1:16:38 am Hi, Is there any way on output you can restrict the character display on screen? i.e. if an attribute has say 100 characters in it, can you only show the first 50 chars? Hope this makes sense! Tony

Hi,

Is there any way on output you can restrict the character display on screen? i.e. if an attribute has say 100 characters in it, can you only show the first 50 chars?

Hope this makes sense!
