    Hi Ravik.


     


    Alternative is Excel spreadsheet. It works the same way as csv (title row may work as structure description). I'd suggest using Text type of data (cell format) for your digital sequences.


     


    If you continue getting this error (truncating of data) try to debug your code.


     


    1. Create local KDT variable and assign hardcoded value to it.


    2. Pass variable into text property.


    3. if there are no errors in this code, assign variable with the value taken from csv file.


    4. if you get error, log the value from variable, check it's actual length and text itself.


     


    Sorry I can not suggest something better, I tried to play with your scv, changed encoding (used ANSI vs Unicode): everything works as expected, TC understands text encodings properly (I use v9.31).


     


    One of the reasons why I asked to attach csv file (not to post it into forum message): may be something wrong with actual data stored in that file. If forum does not allow you to attach csv, you may attach zipped csv file.
