Parsing Memo Incomplete about go-dbase HOT 6 CLOSED

Confirmed working now. Thanks so much! Definitely starring this repo.

Hello FourShour,

Thank you for the issue and your kind words.
I will take a closer look at the problem and try to find a solution. But I already suspect what the problem is.

I noticed that this only happens when "Text" is greater than 56 characters.

A record of a memo file is limited by the block size specified in the header. When writing, I do not yet check whether this limitation is exceeded by the data.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll try out the fix when I can at the beginning of the week.

I'm migrating/integrating with an old FoxPro application so dbase is new to me. Do I need to do something special in order to write a a memo value greater than the block size? I see in the DBF file that there are values that are larger than 56 characters.

It is not possible to write a record to a memo file that is larger than the block size. If you still want to save this data, you have to change the database schema and increase the size.

Can you send me the files so I can take a closer look?

I attached the dbf and fpt files. I'm new to this tech stack so sorry if it's something obvious.

The column I'm having issues with is the TRAITE column

Unfortunately, I don't know much about DBF either, but apparently I have an error in my library that is based on a comprehension problem. A memo entry can very well be larger than one block. I will look into fixing this.
