The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Maybe others on the forum can help. On the PC, there is something like an
environment variable that you can set to increase the standard length
allowed for the PC command. That allows the STRPCCMD to work. As I said, it
was years ago.
Many years ago indeed. The limit for a PC command hasn't been
anything close to that low for a long time. According to
http://www.computing.net/answers/dos/max-length-of-dos-command-line/2281.html
it used to be 128, with a command-line switch that could extend it
somewhat (which may be what you're thinking of, even though it has no
effect on STRPCCMD).
Any remotely current PC allows just under 2K characters, and the
latest ones allow just under 8K. The 123-character limit specifically
belongs to STRPCCMD. From the horse's mouth:
