OPEN DATASET STRING Problem

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am writing to .txt file using open dataset on application server, using following way:

-> Concatenate the relevant fields of the table into a string, separated by a (#).

-> Transfer the string to the opened dataset ds.

Everything good, I', getting trouble with the string. String is holding more than 3000+ characters, program does not give any error but if I can use CG3Y to download created file on presentation server, not able to see the whole string written into the file.

I suppose 256 char is limit to transfer buffer for strings, how can I overtake this limit? Is there any workaround?

Thanks is advance.

Strings can have any length (subject to system settings and resources), so I suspect that CG3Y is cutting off your data.

Check the file content on the application server, use other means to copy to presentation server.

Hi Thomas,

I used AL11 as well to display the file, but the result is same. Is there any limitation with OPEN DATASET?

[ThomasZloch]

AL11 also cuts off data when displaying contents, as far as I know. All I can tell is that neither strings nor OPEN DATASET have a length limitation by default.

Solved by creating another program.
