V.11 Viewer control table limit

Post by dcost_(Guest) » Thu Jun 30, 2005 4:58 pm

According to the documentation, the fields in the Viewer control table RRCntl.dbf may be up to 512 characters wide and some of the predefined fields such as RI_Filter are 1024 characters. Unfortunately, when a field exceeds 255 bytes, any user defined fields in the control table (accessed using RIPARAM function) which follow are not accessible. Though the problem may obviously be solved by either reducing the size of the fields to 255 characters or less, or shuffling them around so fields 256 characters or more are at the end of the file, it would be good to have this fixed per the documentation. If a fix is available, I would appreciate your providing a copy to correct this problem.____Thanks,____David Cost__Dwight Financial, Inc.__DwightFinancial3@hotmail.com______

Try setting____CharFldWidthSize=2____in the DEFAULTS section of the RRW.INI file and see if that helps.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Yes, that also clearly solves the problem. Did I miss this solution in the documentation? I couldn^t find a reference to it. ____Thanks,____Dave__
