Re: [Easy400Group] Buffer limitation in CGIDEV2 program ???

[Mel Rothman]

Scott is, of course, right about this. I should have changed OutBufAlloc and OutBufUsed to "20U 0". Since Giovanni and I no longer control CGIDEV2, I'll send a copy of this message to IBM's Rich Diedrich for his consideration. I agree with Scott that it's unlikely anyone would ever need to exceed 4 GB. Mel Rothman Mel Rothman, Inc.

I agree that the OP's problem is due to having an older version.  However, the output buffer can't be 2 TB. The reason is because you're using a variable called "OutBufAlloc" to keep track of how big the output buffer is, and this variable is defined as "10U 0".   Since the largest number that a 10U field can store is 4,294,967,295, the program would crash with a "Receiver Value too Small to Hold Result" if you tried to exceed 4gb. However, I can't imagine anyone ever needing to exceed 4gb.
