Re: Witango-Talk: Maximum field length

Yeah, I forget that this only relates to when dealing with database fields. Jason is correct on this about variables.   Ben ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason Schulz To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2004 6:03 PM Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Maximum field length I don't think they are the same - or they didn't use to be in T2K. I haven't explicitly checked this in W5, but variables effectively have an unlimited size. I've frequently read files into a variable that are several mb in size. <@varinfo> will return the size of a variable. What encoding is being used? Regards, Jason.

If I am building a string, and not pulling the data from a data source, am I still constrained by 64K? Stated more plainly, what is the largest size a VAR can be? Will changing itemBufferSize change that limitation? -----Original Message----- From: Ben Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 4:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Maximum field length Check the configuration variable itemBufferSize System scope only 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).       Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango & MDaemon Reseller Available for Witango Developement -----Original Message----- From: Wolf, Gene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 11:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Witango-Talk: Maximum field length      Is there a limit to the maximum field length in Witango? The reason I'm asking is that I want to generate some PDF documents on the fly from Witango. The software we are using requires that the page to be rendered be sent in as a string. I'm seeing some pages in excess of 64K and it seems the software is not handling it well. I know the software is not at fault because when I send the same string, assigned to a Witango var, into the program as a text string the program generates the PDF just fine.    I'm assuming that over a certain size Witango is having an issue with the var and is not completing it, hence giving the conversion software stomach problems.    Thanks for your reply.
