Callserver Return param limits.

Hi,

I've got FormAPI using callserver to retrieve XML content.

The process is working find with content that doesn't look to long.

But as soon as the content gets bigger the content doesn't get return.
(approx :Max 1 page of content)

My guess is that there a limits on the size that get return?

1. What can I do.( I did try post(false) on the callserver)
2.If Post is the way to go how can I debug it.

I'm looking into the devnet site and I saw an article in 2002, which is probably not applicable now.

Thx,

Michel

I am working on a similar issue. Not size but performance, I have several thousand entries in a select list (read from several thousand DCRs). I need to filter them easily.

In my case the data is static (within the life of a DCR edit). So what I do is, during the load of the DCR I put all the entries into 2 select lists (index and data) which are hidden. The call server runs and just returns a bunch of indexes, which I parse and take the data from the hidden lists and move them to the lists where I want data.

Convoluted ? Yup. Does it work ? Yup.

Hope this helps

Hi Nipper,

Thx for the info, I will keep this in mind, but in my case I'm only bringing back a subset of a DCR.

I think I may have a lead on my problem:

Here's the embeded html that get return to the inital callserver(see attachment)

I'm returning 1 variable called the_string.

Could it be that I've exceed javascript variable limits, can I use different variable type instead(object)?

Do you think all that legalese is really required for a callserver return ? :-) I certainly expect that will cause a problem.

No, it could not be. JS String size is implementation dependent, for IE it's somewhere near 2³⁰.

You do have JS Syntax errors though due to incorrect Line breaking. Btw, you would have recognized that immediately if you simply
tried to open up the File with your Browser. That said, you can sure use anything you want, JS Objects including. It's your code

Thx for the info, removing the Line breaking took care of it.
