Status: Unverified
GOAL:
Progress 9.1B
SYMPTOM(s):
bfx: Field too large for a data item. Try to increase -s. (42)
error 42 at the assign statement when a variable is assigned to the record field
increase the -s parameter not an option
CAUSE:
A word indexed field used to has a limit of about 18799 bytes in 9.1B, this was raised to 32k (actually 31981) in a patch. In addition, the right part of the CONTAINS operator cannot exceed 18420bytes, so the word index does not help to manage a word larger than this limit (Word index was not designed to handle words with an execssive number of characters)
FIX:
Upgrade to latest commercial release where the limit is 31981.
