SYMPTOM(s):
Error "REPLACE/CONCAT may not result in data > 32000 bytes" when concatenating large string
REPLACE/CONCAT may not result in data > 32000 bytes
Concatenating string with code like:
variable = variable + newData
Variable defined as NO-UNDO
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
All Supported Operating Systems
CAUSE:
The content of the CHARACTER variable reaches the 32K limit
FIX:
Option #1
Upgrade to OpenEdge 10
In OpenEdge 10.x, the CHARACTER variable can be replaced with a LONGCHAR variable that is not limited to 32K in size.
Option #2
In Progress 9.1E and lower, this is a product limitation and therefore must be worked around in the application. For example, large amounts of data could be stored in a text file.
