RE: Variable length

When in debugger enter eval v_pdffiles :c 1700. you should be able to
see the whole thing.

What is the prototype for DoCmd?

Okay, I got the idea...

I use this variable in a QCMDEXC command (actually DoCmd subprocedure
from MMAIL) and I show you here how I use it:

DoCmd('CONCATPDF INPDF(' + v_PDFFiles +') OUTPDF('''+
%Trim(v_PDFOut) +''')');

That means I do pass v_pdffiles as a parameter (you caught me, Lim!); I
tried, though, without "varying" keyword, but it didn't make any
difference; and the error messages listed below I assume are issued by
CONCATPDF command...
The issue is how could I see the whole value of v_pdffiles variable
right before (or right after, it doesn't matter) DoCmd...

Repeat, if I use the command (without any change) when v_pdffiles is
populated with less than 1024 characters, everything is fine...

Ok. After reading a bit more on your email. Seems like you are using

value of v_pdffiles to construct a PDF command. Could it be because

the

PDF command only allow max of 1024 charater in the PDS files

parameter.

In other word, the limitation is actually on the PDF command not the

RPG

program.

I was thinking that too. Another possibility is a problem on the
QCMDEXC call, or whatever facility is being used to run this PDF
concatenation command.
