  • 1.  Large string attributes in a gel script

    Posted Apr 20, 2016 06:51 AM

    HI ,

     

    I wanted to know if there is any limitation  to display a large string attribute in a Gel notification .

    I have tried it but got some text like com.ca.clarity.jdbc.oraclebase.ddz@2c501a54  instead of text entered in the fields.

    Its a simple gel script ,I have used Gel :email tag for sending email

     

    Below is the sample notification I received :

    LARGE STRINGs are binary on the database, if you need to treat them as strings (e.g. in GEL) then just convert them.

     

    For example (on ORACLE) I would SELECT them with a TO_CHAR conversion in my SQL statement.  (in SQLServer I would CAST them to a nvarchar(max) )
