Hi,
I have this get object
@ 4 , 2 GET oComando VAR cComando SIZE 500 , 650 MEMO
I select all text from notepad.
There are 500 rows of text of about 80 characters each.
I paste into the get object
I find in it only 30000 characters
Is it normal?
Best regards
marco
Hi,
I confirm that! I supposed that in (x)Harbour the 64k limitatios was over.
The memo field cannot hold more than 30000 bytes in Harbour or Xharbour.
Maybe is a Fivewin issue???

we posted at the exact same time 
Marco,
I will try, appending in 2 Stepps the text to the Memo 1/2 + 1/2
didtn't test this.
Just tested with the same result : the MEMO doesn't append the next 2. Text.

Uwe, you cannot even type in it... 
The limit is 30000!

Just curious .. I use ADO and Sql tables with memo or varchar fields .. I have not tested it with that many rows of text. My guess that may be a DBFCDX or DBFNTX rdd limitation ??

oGet:LimitText()@ 3 , 1 GET oGet VAR cGet SIZE 400 , 400 MEMO OF oWndYes Enrico, it does the trick. I tested it with a 500K text file.
But have to put it in the ON INIT

Euclides
Enrico,
strange the name of this method.
Exactly the opposite of what it does.
No parameters?
Anyway thank you very much.
Marco,
oMGet:LimitText( nChars ) limits the length of text to nChars and oMGet:LimitText()
without parameters allows edit without any limit.
