The Question is: I have a C program that make a system call and the command line argument is a string that could be greater than 256 caracteres. I have this program running on a Unix OS, and it was OK. Unfortunately, when I run this program in VMS, it fails when the argument string is larger than 256. I believe that this is a VAX/VMS limitation. Is taht true, is there any workarround for this limitation? Thank you Laura Paiva The Answer is : The use of C is not relevent here. DCL has specific limits on symbols and parameters -- please see the DCL documentation for details. Any of a wide variety of mechanisms -- probably most commonly files and mailboxes, of course -- can be used to pass input to programs.
