[U2] unidata env var
We've had some issues with i-desc failing over years and the solution was to set the evironment variable VFIELDSIZE to some amount (6000 or more). My real question is does unidata care about case for this variable (on *nix, not windoze)? I've seen it documented both as VFIELDSIZE and vfieldsize and not sure unidata sees one or both of these. -- Jeffrey Butera, PhD Associate Director for Application and Web Services Information Technology Hampshire College 413-559-5556 ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] unidata env var
Uppercase has always worked for me. $VFIELDSIZE and $vfieldsize are distinct variables to the operating system, so I suspect you should stick with uppercase. 6000 - that's huge - what are you putting in these things? I've had to increase to 380 or so before. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Butera Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2013 6:52 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] unidata env var We've had some issues with i-desc failing over years and the solution was to set the evironment variable VFIELDSIZE to some amount (6000 or more).

Re: [U2] unidata env var
Yup, we've bumped higher than 6000 before. Jeff Butera -- A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean.
