The record length specified by the Len clause in the Open statement must be at least 2 bytes greater than the actual length of the string. as per <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/put-statement">https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/put-statement</a> - The Put statement behaves differently, depending on the type of file you're using. Random files: The first two bytes written indicate the length of the string. Then the Put statement writes the number of characters specified by that length. If variableName is not initialized, the Put statement writes a string of length 0. as per <a href="https://help.hcltechsw.com/dom_designer/9.0.1/appdev/LSAZ_PUT_STATEMENT.html">https://help.hcltechsw.com/dom_designer/9.0.1/appdev/LSAZ_PUT_STATEMENT.html</a></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
