GOAL:
What is the maximum length of LONGCHAR data type?
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge Category: Language (4GL/ABL)
FIX:
The LONGCHAR data type is limited by the maximum amount of memory that your process can access. For example, on Windows, it would be approximately 2 GB (the maximum amount of memory a process can access). Please note that no matter what you cannot allocate more memory than you have available on the machine (physical + virtual).
