I am concerned about the VFP system capacities in regards to maximum
variable lengths.
I am dealing here with a legacy app that switches paths as per its needs.
Some of the paths are so long that greatly exceed 255 characters.
From help I get these two statements (on VFP system capacities)
Maximum # of characters per character string or memory
variable 16,777,184
Maximum length of a string literal 255
I usually store the path in a memory variable thus:
cPath =
"c:\myapp\data\company_records\company_001\year_end_10\salaries\sales_dept\...................."
(whatever the path)
Then
set path to (cPath)
Now, in my poor English, the above two statements seem contradictory.
Can anybody explain the difference and most importantly, which of the
two apply to my particular case?
TIA
Rafael Copquin
