Re: Witango-Talk: Variable/String Limits

[Jason Schulz]

I have a feeling that a variable is only limited by available memory. I say this having read in files over 2MB into variables.

I'd also recommend not reading big files into variables if you can avoid it :)

From the Manual, for ItemBufferSize:

-------------
"Specifies the size, in bytes, of the largest column value that can be
retrieved from a data source. You need to increase this value only if you
need to retrieve large values. The default value is 65535 (64K)."

This "ItemBufferSize" limitation is specifically about how much data can be
retrieved from a single column (cell) from a datasource lookup.

If this is how you are supplying the string value for your variable, then
this is the setting.

But...if you are supplying the string value from some other process, then
the variable store size is not limited by, or associated with, this setting.
So, if there is a limit, then it is controlled by something else.

Hope this helps. Cheers.....

I may be wrong, but I think that it is the same as the
configuration variable called "ItemBufferSize", which is
defaulted to 64K.

Does anybody know how many characters a variable can hold in

Tango 2000

or Witango 5? In other words, what is the maximum string

size possible?

I can't find any references in the manuals, but my tests so

far shows

that it is quite large.

Thanks in advance!
