Preserving Large Text: Ensuring Full Export of CLOB Data Fields in EBS Reports using Blitz Report

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 5 replies

In our technical queries, particularly those retrieving unstructured data such as internal notes or extended product descriptions stored in CLOB fields, the resultant export severely truncates the content . This data loss compromises our ability to perform complete data audits and analysis. Since standard export routines fail to handle these large text fields reliably, we need an alternative that can process and deliver the full character length of CLOB data directly into an Excel cell.
