JR report does not have a report field property setting to limit number of characters in the field - you can only set the field dimension in pixel unit. You will need to create a scriptlet (Java method) to count and truncate character string in the message and call this method from your report field to display the message in the report layout.

Probably, you can follow these steps here:

1. Use java code for define the length of display text;
2. After create java code, you can convert it to jar file;
3. Import to iReport Designer; and
4. Finally use it as expression in "When Print Expression".

Hope it help.

Is there a way to do it in ireport designer instead of java code as we are here not doing build in Java and am not much comfortable in Java development
