[GNC] Exporting Quicken Data into QIF Files for GnuCash truncates Memo Fields

[Tom Route-36]

Hi all,

This is more of a Quicken question than a GnuCash question; but I'm 
wondering if anyone here has run into a similar issue with transferring 
data from Quicken to GnuCash -- and (maybe) figured out a way around it.

When I transfer transactions from Quicken 2016 into a QIF file for 
importing into GnuCash, I'm finding that all the Quicken Memo fields get 
truncated down to 30 characters regardless of how many characters are 
actually in those Memo fields.  For reference, note that Quicken 2016 
supports Memo fields up to 64 characters.  And GnuCash v5.12 supports 
Memo fields of well over 100 characters.

What I'm wondering or asking here is this.  Has anyone else run into 
this issue?  And does anyone have a suggestion for how it might be 
possible to export the full 64-character Memo fields from Quicken? 
(FYI, we're talking over 20 years of Quicken data here.)  Any help or 
ideas would be appreciated.

Tom
