AJAX Proxy Action name length passed to RPG

[timchase01]

Hi All,

Just started working on some prototyping apps for my company and ran across something that I couldn't find an answer for in the documentation or on the forum. The problem I was running into is that I attempted to pass an action name that was 21 characters. Because the action variable in the RPG program is set to 20, it failed.

Is the 20 character a set limit or can that variable be changed to say 25 or 30? I was trying to use the action name of 'getStreetDirectionals', which happens to be 21. For now I just shortened it to getStreetDirs, but just thought I would ask the question.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,

The size definition of the action variable is defined in your RPG application that you are calling from the front-end. You can simply just change the size and recompile your RPG program. Let us know if that helps.

Thanks

It does. Thanks. I just wasn't sure if you guys had picked 20 because it seemed like a good number or if there was a limitation. Sounds like you guys picked it because it sounded like a good number. :)
