How do i get Ireport text box past 347 characters

[Stevend_1]

Hello.

I have  report that has a text box of type java.lang.string.  It displays a group of serial numbers shipped. However the box cuts off some of the information.  The truncate always happens after 347 characters.  

I have tryed all three "Stretch" settings and Stretch with overflow off and on with all three Stretch settings. I have added "+ /n" to the end.  Horizontal size and vertical size has no effect on the limit.

I have used a font size of 10 and 8 with no improvment. the truncate happens i nthe middle of the page between other sections and at the end.

I keep coming back to the text box having a physical size limitation.  is that possible?

Thank you greatly to all.

I have used a text box with 1367 characters and could not find this problem in JasperStudio. Change your editor to Jasper studio... itext is not supported

iReports is a very old project that has already been defaunct for several years already. The current report design tool is Jaspersoft Studio.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperstudio/files/JaspersoftStudio-6.5.1/

iReports have several limitations as well as bugs that have already been resolved in Jaspersoft Studio. If you still wish to continue using iReports, that's up to you because iReports is an open source project and you are entitled to continue using it. If you do, however, you'll have to accept the limitations or fix it yourself.

Thank you all for the replies.  I would love to use Jasper studio but i cant afford the $10,000 license cost for the once or twice a year report edit.   Are there any alterantives

There's a community edition that you can use for free so it's no different then using iReport in that matter.
