When using the TEXT_FILE READ function in ALL-IN-1 2.4, is there a
limit to the length of the record which can be read in?
A customer is using TEXT_FILE READ with records which are 906 bytes
long, but when he tries to use this, it comes back with an error:
"%OA-I-TFOREAD, text file error reading file <file>, 899276 byte record
too large for users buffer."
It looks like some sort of overflow may have been hit, but I'm not sure
what.
Can anyone help?
Steve.

If the records are just over 900 bytes long, and the error message indi- cates that it's trying to read something almost 900,000 bytes long, I'm wondering if you have a true sequential file. What is the record terminator? CR? Can you <LIST the file from ALL-IN-1? What type of file is it (e.g., ASCII, WPS-PLUS, DX, other...)? F | |||||

In the first versions of V2, the text DSABs were limited in size.
I think it was 256 characters, then it expanded to 512. Not sure what
the current size is....
But I would tend to agree with Frank. Sounds like its not really
a normal sequential file.
