Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 7.x
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Dump does not truncate data of type character when exceeding 3000 bytes
CAUSE:
This is a documentation bug. #20021021-017
In the "Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference" PART I Planning 3.13 Data Types and Values
we state that 4GL data types and value limits for CHARACTER as:
Constrained by record size. (If a field has more than 3,000 bytes, you
must write your own dump/reload procedure because the Progress
dump/reload procedure cannot handle fields larger than 3,000 bytes.)
This is a old limitation that is no longer relevant.
FIX:
Bug#20021021-017 was entered requesting documentation review for 9.1E
