Re: [Easy400Group] Buffer limitation in CGIDEV2 program ???

[Mel Rothman]

First, as I said in message number 6933: "Assuming you are using CGIDEV2 Version 2004-09-02 17:40:18 or later, CGIDEV2's HTML output buffer can grow up to about 2 terabytes. See "Externally described HTML subprocedures - maximums" in the CGIDEV2 readme, http://www-922.ibm.com/cgidev2h/readme.htm#funcHTMLMax " Given the message you are seeing, it is likely that you are using an older CGIDEV2 version. Second, one should seldom, if ever, need to send anywhere near 16 MB in response to an HTTP request.  However, you can exceed 16 MB if you use the latest CGIDEV2 distribution.

I am having an issue where the CGI pgm initiated by the desktop URL fails. Steps: 1) initiate the html URL 2) A screen appears and I enter a single character value of 'R' 3) Normally the CGI program reads the file and displays it to the screen in html format. Today however it attempts to read the file but after a minute or so the process fails and I get a page cannot be displayed message (HTTP 500 - Internal server error) .  On the AS/400 in the HTTP joblog the following message appears:                                                                      Message ID .. :   RNX0425       Severity . . . :   50         Message type . . . . . :   Escape                                              Date sent  . :   02/01/06      Time sent  . . :   10:53:13                                                                                  Message: The length requested for storage allocation is out of      range.                                                                       Cause:  RPG procedure WRTSECTION in program CGIDEV2/CGISRVPGM2       tried to allocate storage with a length that was not a value between 1 and 16776704.                                                                        Recovery  . . . :   Contact the person responsible for program maintenance to determine the cause of the problem.                                          4) Troubleshooting Nothing has changed in HTTP, CGI or the program so I suspected the input file size as the cause of the problem. The input file was broken down into smaller file segments and things seem to work fine. IBM indicates that it like a program or CGI configuration causing the limitation and not HTTP. Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
