Summary

This article covers an example of a 200 character limit script.

Table of Contents

Description

This script counts the number of characters in a target field and determines whether or not it is less or equal to two hundred. If the value is greater than 200 an alert fires.

Note: If no alert is needed, utilize the Max Length column on the ‘Question Types – Definition’ tab in the dataArchitect file. This will hard stop text characters at the designated number. A simple edit check can be added instead, which will fire an alert. The edit check expression would be as follows: questions.size <= 200
