In principle in data transmissions potentially abridged messages can't
be trusted and have to be rejected. If the worst comes to the worst
the unmutilated text may mean the opposite of the original version, a
disaster e.g. in applications for medical purposes. Therefore in my
opinion an exception is indispensable.

Fortunately at least the data aware controls themselves (IB_Edit /
IB_Memo etc.) prohibit an input too long for the corresponding column.
