The maximum length of string variables was increased from 255 bytes to 32,767 bytes in SPSS 13. IIRC, when an SPSS 13 data file with a string variable over 255 bytes is opened in SPSS 12, the variable should get split into multiple variables.

The data file characteristics haven't changed in SPSS so something else is at issue here?
