Dear forum members... A strange problem: I have a filed which comes from an Oracle CLOB. This is embedded into iReport as a java.lang.String column. Strange behavoiur: It cuts off the last characters; i.e. if I have 8100 Chars/bytes in Clob, it displays approx. 8000, if there are 4000 chars, still the last few chars are missing, etc. How may I get out of this? Thank you, Johann
