Is there a restriction on Global size in V2? I have a macro that no longer works and I have narrowed it down to the maximum I can load into a Global is 1024.

Pete,
It looks like there is.
I use a GV to store weather data from a web page. I only care about today's forecast which is always within the first few hundred characters.
I just looked at the GV and it ends at 1024.

Global vars are stored within the database and they've always been limited to 1024 characters  .
However, depending upon what you are doing, you may be able to use a global system var. Version 2 has 100 global system vars and can be accessed using the ph_getvar_? and ph_setvar_? functions. The first parameter should be a 3 for this type of var. These vars are stored in memory and can be virtually an unlimited length.
Dave.

Dave, I was using LOCALs when the problem cropped up. Have they also been 1024 all along or is the Weather data getting longer?

Pete,
LOCALS are in memory and basically have no limit. However, its possible that some function that you're using on the LOCAL may be truncating the data for some reason. If you could post some snippets of what you're doing, I'll look up and see if anything may be responsible for the truncation.
Dave.
