RI_FILTER string length

Post by John_Lewis_(Guest) » Fri Oct 10, 2003 11:25 am

Hi Kathleen,____Someone in the Visual Object newsgroup reported that R&R would not run if the field length of RI_Filter field was greater than 254 chars. I have tested this claim and indeed he is correct. The RRUNOUT table reports an invalid entry RI_ALIAS1, which is actually blank. I can not understand why it mentions RI_ALIAS1 ____It states in the Developing Applications pdf that the max length of RI_Filter 1s 1024 chars, so please can you explain wht R&R will not run with any field length > 254____Best regards____John Lewis

Well done Kathleen you really are an asset to Liveware.____If I might ask, why two options, is it for backward compatibility or what. I did read the rrw.ini section but could not find an explanation regarding, CharFldWidthSize=2____Thanks again and regards____John
