Change the field datatype descriptor to allow more than 255. Memo is probably your best bet - char has a max of 255, memo is 64K

But i cant change the field datatype. That should be string

Yes, but a CHAR field can only hold 255 characters, so if you want to hold more than that, you will have to use a different type...
