Re: Text field lengths and external DataBases.

Rob,

The agent dies when it tries to update DB2 with more characters in a 
field than it can contain. DB2 doesn't even get to really see it so the 
trigger program would never get fired off. Besides this is probably 
worse than the old batch processing environment since the  user might 
type something to long and not find out about it till the next morning. 
Right now the "Input Validation" event tells them as soon as they exit 
the field and they have to try again.
