Hi experts,

We are working SSA LN 6.1

We are going to up information to LN from other systems. We will use AFS functionality, but We are going to use a intermediate layer ( websphere IBM Message Broker). This is going to send a XML message to BaaN with the information needed, but this xml message could be until 4 megas. I had investigated and the UNIX SO permit me environment variables of 4 megas.

My question is baan permit me using environment variables until 4 megas?

The getenv$() (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_system_and_user_information_getenv) from the Tools programmer's manual does not mention any limits.

Based on these notes, Open World is a better choice for the solution.

Hi NPRao,

I know that the function getenv$() from the Tools programmer's manual does not mention any limits, but my question is focused a programming baan restriction, that is to say, getenv$() return the value to any string variable
when I receive the value of the environment variable until how much information can I receive in this variable?
and
Which data type should be the variable.?

Thank you.
