RE: FW: QtmhCvtDb trouble

At what point in size does this "feature" raise it's ugly head -
I have all my programs using CvtDb, but my file is only 2,036
bytes long, though I have 749 fields in the file.

So far I have not had any issues, and realistically do not see
adding more size to it in the near future.
I just don't want to get caught off guard in the future
when I have forgotten this post.

Though due to the dynamics of our web CGI work here, I do
not do the *INLR on, but I do compile all to be activation
group *NEW, and thus far no performance issues and it took
care of a couple of very "weird" issues I was having.

TIA

Mark

I've heard of this bug. The best thing to do if you want to continue to
use CvtDb is to make sure you set on *INLR before the CGI program ends.

The best thing you can do if you want it to work in the future, is to us
QzhbCgiParse and get he fields one at a time.
Mel Beckman's zhbGetVar (in CGIDEV2) wraps QzhbCgiParse so that normal
humans can actually use it. It's the only thing I use nowadays. I used
the be in love with CvtDb, but there's too many issues with it to make
it worth the effort anymore.
