Re: Scan Limits

How are you calling this pgm?, is the input field a parm that you are receiving in your pgm?. Be aware of calling pgm with a rcv parm greater than  32 if you call it from a cmd line or a clle

Are there limits related to the %scan BIF at i7.1? Here is a little code to consider:

     d lf              c                   x'25'
     d input           s          10001a   inz

                 if %scan( lf : input ) <= 1;

The "if" statement evaluates to true. The value of the field "input" is 10000-bytes of text followed by the line-feed character (x'25').

When I run the same code over shorter values of "input" searching for the same value, I find the value as expected (i.e.: if 200 characters of text, I find it in 201).

Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks,
