SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Error

I have several fields i wish to concatenate and display as a single string within a detail section.  

a. Is there a limit on the number of fields that can be concatenated?
b. Is there a limit on the length of the resulting string?

When I run the report in SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 I get the following cryptic error when I try to go to the next page.
message: Syntax error
description: Syntax error
number: -2146827286
name: SyntaxError

However; when the report is ran in Crystal Reports 2008 it works fine.

How are you concatenating?
Is this a Crystal Report you are running in BO?

How did you upload the report to BO?

Crystal Reports

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
