Hi,
I am using MQSI2.1 CSD03.

Is there any limitation on the size of the CHARACTER type variables that is declared and used from the ESQL code?
The ESQL reference guide says no such limitations I think. Just wanted to confirm with you guys

I am not facing a problem now, but expecting the size of the data that I am appending to a CHAR variable may increase (close to 12MB). Will it have any limitations? Have any of you had such a situtation?

regards
leo

I would be surprised if there was any actual limit smaller than 100Mb, as the parser has to be able to handle the maximum size of a single MQ message.

I would not be surprised to find that there were not actual limits until significantly larger than that...

Hi,

The only limit is the length of the largest contiguous block of memory we can allocate (which varies from platform to platform and usage to usage and broker loading to broker loading)
