setVariable function

Hi,

I came to know that job->setVariable() function of teamsite has limitation that the variable can contain value upto 4096 characters/bytes.
What is the workaround if the value exceeds the above limit.

IT would not be a good programming practise also to have a variable name so big!! Why would you require such a big variable name.

Any specific reason you are passing along the complete value within job variable.

My suggestion would be to use a text file to store the value and pass the pathname of the textfile with in job variable.

Alternatively, if you feel you must pass such a large value through a job variable - find a way to break it up into multiple job variables -- though I have to agree here, I don't see why one would have to pass such a large value through job variables to begin with - the text (or temporary) file idea is a very reasonable alternative.
