For some reason I am not having any luck today finding the answer to this:
What is the maximum length the %SUBST accepts?
And does the Free-Form version BIF for %SUBST have the same limitations on
length as the non-Free Form version?
Release dependent Shannon. It matches the maximum length of a character field. i.e it should be 65,535 prior to V6 and 16Mb for V6+
Can't recall when the increase to 65,535 from 32K happened but hopefully you are not on a release that is that old.
When you say "non-Free" I assume you mean the old SUBST op-code. It has the same rules as the BIF.
I assume that they don't define the maximum as such because it is relative to the length of the string it is dealing with.
