Limitations on environment variables
Size of a block of environment variables
At the start of a session, the client groups all the environment variables that the server will use and sends the environment variables to the server as single block. The maximum size of this block is 32K. If the block of environment variables is greater than 32K, the error -1832 is returned to the application. The text of this error is "Environment block is greater than 32K."
To resolve this error, you can either unset one or more environment variables or reduce the size of some of the environment variables.
