Dataport 7.0 Extended Fields?

[bigbangtech]

I just installed the Universal Dataport 7.0 with my AC7.03 install.

It is asking me if I want to extend field lengths in the database.

What are the pros and cons of doing/not doing this?

You definitely want to do that unless you want to have some data truncation issues.

There is no harm while extending the field lengths in database. In-fact this is a requirement if you want to import data without truncation errors.
