I have figured it out... The absolute max characters
you can send is 2045. Let me tell you why. That's
approx. half of what the the 4092 that the note field
can hold. My collegue says this is likely because
RBTI is likely using something to do with UNICODE and
that this is where the CString limit hits.. I have to
admit that what he said parted the hair line quite a
bit, but it makes sense. I will submit this as a bug
and see if they can do anything about it. This might
take a lot of work on their part. It depends on how
this all integrated into the system. Maybe they can
introduce a NEW DATATYPE using the CHAR ARRAY like
my friend has said. Who knows.
One thing that made me figure this out is testing
this with the ampersand. I kept dropping the limit
on what I could send by subtracting more from the
max amount I was allowing (line 26) and bingo --
once I got under the 2045 limit RBase reported
that the ampersand was invalid. Then I change it
back to a dotted variable and it worked as long
as I was sending no more data then 2044...
Hope this helps.
