Hi All,

Please let me know what amount of text, in terms of mb or gb, can an ascii file can support. Let me explain the scenario in detail...

I have a process session that would be run as a Job. This process session writes data on to an ascii file stored on a fileserver.

Now my doubt - Is there a limit for Baan Session in terms of amount of text, in mb or gb, that is written onto an ascii file.

Currently the process session writes records close to 60,000 or 2.8 mb of text per day. I am concerned what if the amount of text written is more than 5mb or 10mb. Will the session fail to process.

Any information on this is very helpfull.

Thank you.

I think that the ASCII file length limit is OS dependent.
Baan limits for the string buffer is 4KB, so if each record written/read is less or equal this limit you could not have any problem.

I agree with zardoz. Check here for the know baan limits (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_misc_known_limits)

Hi Zardov & George,


Thanks for clarification. At this time I do not have any problem but I just wanted to know what are the permissible limits for an ascii file.

Thanks again.

Old OS (particularly 32bit ones) had 2 GB limits . Later ones have virtually unlimited limits.
