Re: %len bif on fields > 65535

You know... I need to dig deeper. I was using yajl_get_string() to get the
value, and I bet that is where the limit is. I guess I didn't think about
it since to test the data I was using yajl_save_string_stmf() and all the
data was there.

I went for my daily walk and thought about it and the light when off when I
thought about it. :)

If that is indeed true then I would say it is a bug Brad.

This is sort of a followup to my question about the base64 decode

I found the problem is when I use %len(%trimr(field)) and field size is
char > 65535 this will always return 65535 instead of the actual length

(in

this case it's about 125k).

I can't find anything in the docs about this.

I'm sure I'm missing something... ideas? In this case I defined the

field

as char(500000) for a test.

I tried setting it as varying and still the same result when using

%len().

Always get 65535.
