In addition to Denver's comments...
MAXLEN does not effect anything in the actual global storage
What it does do is a) if you have TRUNCATE=1 (the default) then the string is chopped on storage - TRUNCATE=0 the string is saved in it's entirety
b) used in ODBC projection to tell the ODBC client the size of the string
c) CSP form wizard to construct the HTML form
d) Probably something in Java Projection - but I don't do Java

Hi all
I am changing around some database structure and I have a question. I know that Cache only allocates storage for the the actual amount of data being stored, (aka string property with with value = "DD" and MAXLEN = 50 will not take up any more space than string property with with value = "DD" and MAXLEN = 2). That is a good thing.
My question is, if I wanted to set MAXLEN = 32000 to allow full use of the global node (I would like to not use the %Stream interface), how would that affect performance? How does cache allocate memory for the buffers? would it allocate enough memory to hold a 32k string when the string stored may be <1k ? I'm not really sure how cache does this. Any thoughts on this?
