Thread: Variable name exceeds limit of 50 characters

  1. #1

    Default Variable name exceeds limit of 50 characters

    Friedrich,

    we need longer variables!

    lets say, hmmm, maybe 200 characters?

    (Sorry, I can't attach any images anymore, dBabble always says that my quota is exceeded)

    I have shortened that variable now and plowed through the script, to replace
    each occurance. The very first one is
    Set Variable %SERVER_SOLL_ALS_DIENST_NEUGESTARTET_WERDEN% to "0" - it was
    replaced automatically without any interaction by me. Fine!

    Then I searched for the others, which have still had the old name (which is no
    problem for me), but when I then picked the new one from the droplist, I saw,
    that both the old and the new one were listed. Well, maybe because the old one
    was in use some lines below still. Anyway, I replaced all, saved, restarted SB
    and the old name is now gone.

    That 50 character limit is there for "performance reasons" (compiler and
    runtime). But I'll see what I can do.

    Well, if its for performance reasons, then I will modestly step back from my
    suggestion.....

    Maybe you can add a warning when I type to much? Or a hint in the dialog-menu?
    So that we stumble across it before we finally compile and then have to modify
    a dozend entries.

    That would be okay, I think.

    ... or just limit the number of characters in the entry field to 50.
