Adding huge numbers as general text shows as numbers

I have a larger number
0112201701179128754100120010110051994582523037018
which shouldn't be treated as a number notice the 0 at the beginning, I am presenting it in a text with text format as general and it is being show as follows
1.12201701200101E+35
Now I should mention if I put 0112201701179128754100120010110051994582523037018 directly as the expression it shows up as a text, but when It is coming from a json object data source it comes as 1.12201701200101E+35, the datasource has the column as string and even if I concat a string or even use to Upper to try to make the report understand that its a string (PANIC BUTTON ({Trim(ToUpperCase(root.documento_numero_autorizacion))+""})), it doesn't work
any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated

I am using the latest version 2018.1.4, I'm guessing I wasnt clear about the problem I have no problem if I put the string 0112201701179128754100120010110051994582523037018 it is shown correctly the problem happens when the value isnt directly set but comes from a datasource in this instance a json datasource which is bringing the same value 0112201701179128754100120010110051994582523037018

Hello.
Please, check the type of this column.
If you want to see it as a string then the column should be a string type.
If you still need our help, please, send us your report template with sample data.
