>I am trying to pass a parameter to a WebService. The specifications call for an XML string to be passed. I am getting the kind of error that occurs when a string is too long. Can anyone tell me the maximum length of a string that can be passed as a parameter in VFP? Thanks.
CLEAR
MyString = REPLICATE("x", 1e7)
MySTring2 = ""
FOR i = 1 TO 10
MySTring2 = MySTring2 + MyString
next
MyFunc(MyString2)
FUNCTION MyFunc(x)
? LEN(x)
ENDFUNCTested in VFP 9 with SP2. In other words, it works up to a length of 1e8 (100 million characters).
If I increase the string to a billion characters, I get a fatal error eventually. But I think the problem is with creating the string, not with passing the parameter. You can do additional tests for yourself, to see exactly where it fails; but if "at least 100 million" is sufficient for an answer, then of course no additional tests are required.
