Characters cut off instead of wrapping

 I have a report that has a data item that takes data from the database and then concatenates what is entered in the field from the form.  Here is the code I use in the report so that when the data gets to the maximum length for that field in the report, it wraps to the next page.  Unfortunately, characters are cut off instead of wrapping.  Any ideas?

Here's the code in afterpform:

function AfterPForm return boolean is
 v_amt          NUMBER;
 v_dssn         dds_site_v.dssn%TYPE;
 v_resp_vrsn    dds_user_appointments_v.resp_vrsn%TYPE;
 v_regul_vrsn   dds_user_appointments_v.regul_vrsn%TYPE;
