TRANSFER DATASET

shilpi_singh — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 09:26:36 GMT

Hi,

I need to create a XML file and in a single TRANSFER dataset statement I passing a string variable that has my XML data . This string variable has 8027 characters, but in the file only 7000 characters get printed.

Later below I am able to write the footer data in other TRANSFER dataset statement.

could you please advise as whether we have a restriction with regards to maximum data that we can transfer to dataset in one single TRANSFER dataset statement. As in my case I get the file but my body is incomplete.

FYI: I am opening the file in TEXT MODE.

Thank you,

Shilpi

According to the documentation for the TRANSFER statement:

"If the addition LENGTH is not specified, all characters or bytes are passed."

Hi Rob,

But in my case my string is 8027 characters long, and if I transfer this string in a go , I have only 7000 characters printed in my file.

While if I split the same string in parts and then transfer each part to file then I have everything in my file.

I tried with explicitly putting the length addition as TRANSFER <string_variable> TO DATASET LENGTH 8027 , but I have the same result.

Thank you,

Shilpi
