Re: RDI 9.5.0.2 cannot display Large variable like Green Screen... <shock>

Whatever you do, don't "hover" over the variable. I've done that by accident with large data structures and it locks RDI (v9.1)

I try doing a monitor "MyVariable:C 5000" and only returns a maximum of 4,095. <Perplexed Look>

Same.
9.5.0.2, Win 7 32-bit

dcl-s bigfield char(65000) inz(*all'1234567890');
monitor bigfield:c 5000
The Monitors View does not show 5k characters. Too lazy to count them.
Double click it, to be able to change the value. This window says
Offset: 0 Length: 4095 and in fact, the last characters shown are
'12345' so I believe that it really is truncated to 4095 bytes.

I have similar behaviour with bigfield:c 10000; the change window stops
at 4095 bytes.

monitor %substr(bigfield 5001 10) shows 1234567890 as expected.
Double click to change shows what seems to be the right characters, but
actually changing them results in Server: CPF7E12 Identifier does not exist.

Sounds like a bug (for the truncation) and maybe an RFE (to be able to
change a substring).
