Controlling column length for radio group mappings

By default the InForm Architect application generates mapping definitions for radio group controls using the maximum length of all possible values in the control. For example, if the longest string control in a radio group is a text control with a maximum length of 45, the InForm Architect application generates a mapping definition with a column length of VARCHAR(45).

By using a registry setting, you can specify that the InForm Architect application assigns a length of VARCHAR(255) instead of computing the column length of the mapping by evaluating the controls that make up the radio group. If this is the behavior you prefer:

  1. Create a DWORD key called FixedSizeRadioTDE in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Oracle/InForm Architect folder of the registry on the server where the InForm Architect application is installed.
  2. Assign a value of 1.

If the FixedSizeRadioTDE key is present and has a value of 1, the InForm Architect application assigns a length of VARCHAR(255) to radio group mappings with a type of STRING. If the key has a different value or is not present, the InForm Architect application assigns the maximum length defined for the components of the radio group.
