[Gvsig_english] gvSIG-join function::serious problem regarding field length!

[Wolfgang Qual]

Dear Sergio,
this truncation of string column also happens, when a csv-table is used to 
create an event theme and this event theme is exported to shape-format. 
And this is done quite frequently.

Best,
Wolfgang
