QUIZ maximum record length confined by maximum poage width

[Seamus Browne]

Hi,
Using QUIZ, I heed to export some data from PH on a HP3000.
(Yep, it's migration time ...)

I am stuck with a maximum field length, not per se, because this works:

	acc dbfile
	def x char * 600 = "XX"

But I can't report a field that is larger than the maximum page width,
i.e. 256.

Even when I specify a discfile as the report device the page width seems
to override any other specifications.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

can cle
set def

acc dbfile
def x char * 600 = "XX"

:purge xFile
:build xFile;rec=-600,,f,ascii;DISC=100
set rep dev disc name xFile

set page wid 0
             ^
* This value is not within the range of allowed values.
set rep spa 0

set nohead
rep x

go
* Can't report an element exceeding PAGE WIDTH specification.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Any way round this in Quiz ?

TIA
