truncating a field's length in BR

[vishuanand]

Hi,

I am writing a BR where i want to truncate a field's length(lets say to 100 characters). For eg:

parsedObject.Description = recordObject.short_description;

Here, i want to truncate the length of short_description to 100. could anyone help me how to do this?

I guess, if the field length is 100, it should be automatically truncated Or else you can try this

parsedObject.Description = recordObject.short_description.toString().substring(1,100);

Thanks

Thank you Alikutty for your response. But i tried this already and its not truncating the short description field to 100 characters. We cannot change the field length to 100. Hence, required to truncate it before sending to other system.

Can you show your complete code or business rule? The above code sets value to Description and not short description. Try this

parsedObject.short_description = recordObject.short_description.toString().substring(1,100);

Hi Alikutty,

i may not be able to share you the whole BR but yes it is setting value to short description only   and for description we are setting it in detailed description.

I would appreciate if you suggest any other way to do it.

Thank You.
