Re: Scan Limits

No, the maximum limit for the scan BIF is determined by the maximum length
of a character field which is way over 10,000 bytes.

Since you have %scan( lf : input ) <= 1 evaluating true, this seems to
indicate that your actual 'input' data is not as expected.

So %scan( lf : input ) <= 1 will only be true for 2 cases: Either x'25'
not found in string at all or found as first character in the string.

How are you calling this pgm?, is the input field a parm that you are

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,
