Is there a 64K limit in the OpenVMS socket support? Regards, Carl B., x2796 Yes, there is a 64K limit on socket writes on VMS at least when VMS 7.3 came out. Both writev and write to a socket can only accept a 64K message. I believe that the perl abstraction layer should handle this but since your seeing this problem it likely isn't and would need to be fixed. I can't remember if there was any documentation about this limitation but we phoned Compaq, now HP, on the problem and that was their response. They weren't sure whether they were going to fix the problem in a later release. Michael Downey
