Re: [WebDNA] variable name limit - answer
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2009
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 103959
interpreted = N
texte = Okay boys and girls, try this: [text]abcdefghijklmnopqustuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstu49=49 chars[/text] [abcdefghijklmnopqustuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstu49]
[text]abcdefghijklmnopqustuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuv50=50 chars[/text] [abcdefghijklmnopqustuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuv50]
I get this: 49 chars [abcdefghijklmnopqustuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuv50] which tells me that the maximum size for a text variable NAME is 49 characters. This is on the latest version of WebDNA (right Chris?) If anyone finds any differently it would be interesting to know about it. Terry Thanks Donovan, but not the value. The name. [text]thisisaridiculouslylongtextvariablenametoseehowfarwecango=blah[/text] [thisisaridiculouslylongtextvariablenametoseehowfarwecango] <<--- does not get interpreted. Like I say, I can figure it out easily with trial and error, and I will end up doing that when I finish what I'm doing right now. Then I'll report my findings.
