It turns out the addon would actually read in a string from column that exceeded the max number of chars defined in GDL specs. I'm suspecting this was what made ArchiCAD crash. As soon as I limited the column string length into 255 (the columns are exported from excel), the crashing stopped.
I was even able to print out the string length within the GDL using STRLEN(), and it really showed a string length bigger than 255. (314 I think, to be specific).
I'm using ArchiCAD 15 FIN Full 4056 with Windows 7.

Hi Samppa
Yes. I have found this too. This will cause ArchiCAD to crash. Looks like you have found the work around.
It would be nice to see this limited lifted.

Hi Ben,
Glad to hear this is not just me! Yes, the workaround seems to hold everything together so far... Hope this gets fixed some time soon.
