QUIZ maximum record length confined by maximum poage width

[Deskin, Bob]

No there isn't. QUIZ is a report writer and everything is tied to the
maximum page width - 255 (as I recall). QUIZ subfiles were intended to
pass data between reports and are based on the REPORT statement - so 255
again.

I suggest using QTP to migrate data for a number of reasons. First,
there's no 255 character limit. Also, you can create indexed subfiles
and retain index information. And you can retain substructure
information if you're moving from IMAGE or KSAM to indexed or Eloquence.

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
