Field Size Limitation

[arthur kogan]

Hi Steve,

this is controlled by one of the QKGO parameters, I think it is "Terminal
Buffer" parameter. By default it is set to 512 bytes, but you can change it by
going into QKGOMAINT.

This is from the Qdesign Procedural Reference on VMS (but this would be the
same on HP3000):

Terminal Buffer:    The maximum number of characters (one ASCII character
equals one byte) in the terminal input/output buffers (MAXBUF). The range of
values for this parameter are: Minimum = 80, Default = 512, Maximum = 4000.

I hope this helps.
