Re: CGIDEV2 field truncation...

Hi,

In cgidev2, you have 2 updhtmlvar one for field less than 1024 char, and
another for big field (updhtmlva2 ?).
You can cut your field into 1024 pieces and in the html core concat it
works.

D mybigvar     ds
d    piecofbig1                1024
d    pieceofbig2               1024
...

updhtmlvar ('piece1' : pieceofbig1 )
updhtmlvar ('piece2' : pieceofbig2 )

HTML :

/%Piece1%//%piece2%/

Subject: [WEB400] CGIDEV2 field truncation...

All:

I have a field in a file that's 5000 characters long...just a general
notes field...

What happens when I attempt to write it to a web page using updhtmlvar(),
it truncates the field to only write out 1024 characters...hence, we're
losing data...is there something I can do to avoid this?...

P.S. I just put this into production as my first CGI production app...lots
of people panicking about losing data...about to start pulling my hair
out...
