The limit is 32000 when the extended record size option is not used. When this option is used, the maximum is 2GB. |
With this increased string limit, a few internal logical limitations have been imposed to avoid passing excessively long strings to some of the system functions.
The following functions/directives are restricted to 8KB string lengths:
CALL subprogram names/entry point names
LIST_BOX LOAD for a single line
SYSTEM_HELP command
STR( ) function format masks
SYS( ) function system command
XEQ( ) pathname
EVS( ) / EVN( ) expressions
MSK( ) mask definition
DAY_FORMAT and DTE( ) formats
