Limits on string data representation in LotusScript®
The following table lists the limits on representation of string data.
| Item |
Maximum |
|---|---|
| Number of strings |
Limited by available memory. |
| Total string storage |
Limited by available memory. |
| Length of a string literal |
16,267 characters (32,000 bytes). |
| Length of a string value |
2G bytes |
| Total string literal storage in a module |
2G bytes |
Note: Even though strings in LotusScript® 4 can be longer than 64K,
there are still restrictions with the length of the string you can
read or write using the GET and PUT statements. The only combination
of filetypes that will work with long strings is with a binary file
and a variable-length string. Fixed-length strings, strings in variants,
and random files will not work with strings greater than 64K in length
because they have a two-byte header which contains the length of the
string. Two bytes cannot represent more than 64K.
