SESSION:PARAMETER Entry Max Length?

Posted by Michael Brandt on 23-Mar-2017 15:15

I'm looking to run progress from the command line, passing in parameters that will be captured by SESSION:PARAMETER.  Do anyone know if there are any length limitations on data passed in as parameterized arguments?

Under UNIX, many people will put values in environmental varibles, then use os-getenv() to read the value.  

Others go further and use configuration files - both can be found used here:

The limit will be what the OS allows from the command line up to the max size of a character value in the ABL.
