I'm trying to build a database in AppleWorks. In AppleWorks I can create text fields 400-500 characters
long. But from Applescript, any attempt to create a field seems to be limited to 232 characters.
The following is a kind of test: you'll need to have an open database document first.
--
set x to ""
repeat 100 times
set x to x & "0123456789" & return
end repeat
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
if front document exists then
set theFrontDocument to (get a reference to the front document)
if theFrontDocument's document kind is database document then
copy (get a reference to (make new record in theFrontDocument)) to thisNewRecord
set value of field 1 of thisNewRecord to x
end if
end if
end tell
--
Is this a problem with my script or with Appleworks and its AS implementation?
Thanks for any help
Pete
