One kind of truncation could be that no version of Stata allows string
variables longer than 244 characters. See -help limits-. Perhaps you
are referring to something else, but let's exclude that as a
possibility....

Looking at the CSPro-created dictionary, I cannot tell what is determining string value length. This is automatically created and I don't know how to systemically edit it to tell stata which string fields should be longer. Anyone else have this problem or know what causes truncated string values?
