Function shortcomment(byval commentstring as string, stringlength as integer) as string

if commentstring="" or isnothing(commentstring)
return commentstring
else

commentstring=replace(commentstring, chr(10)," ")
if commentstring.length >stringlengthcommentstring=left(commentstring, stringlength) & "....."
return commentstring
