Hi,
I have a formatted Dataset query with size exceeding 300 lines (vertically). The dataset editor is not allowing me write it. Is this a limitation that the query size should be less than 300 lines or do we need have any way to increase this.
Formatting helps understand the query it in a legible format.
ThanksBy "dataset editor" do you mean the Dataset dialog, generic query designer
or graphical query designer? How long is the query in characters? What do
you mean by "not allowing me to write it"? Do you get an error message?

I have a query as, say,
"select " & Parameters!col_name>Value & " as myValue from dual UNION ALL ...(almost 18k characters)"...
I wrote the above query as follows (for legibility)
" select " & Parameters!col_name>Value & " as myValue " & (press enter)
" from dual " & (press enter)
" UNION ALL " & (press enter)
... (exceeds 300 lines vertically now)
Here, i notice that only 300 lines come in the window and after that it does not paste or allow me manually write the query. Nothing happens when i write.
Kinldy let me know if it cannot work beyond this or a solution.

seem strange if the specific text made any difference.

Please follow the process as,
format the query in an editor (textpad, in my case) with an enter character after every line. Copy this query which is beyond, say 400 lines, and paste it directly in datatset querystrign editor. Are you sure you get the complete query in the window. Try copying it back to the textpad editor and check for the number of lines.
My focus is primarily on having the copy and paste operation performed, as i did. Otherwise, if you can suggest any probable reason for this behaviour..
Thanks.

any more text. I think the 32K character limit is imposed by the textbox
control, not us. That sounds like what you are seeing, except it's a limit
on the number of characters, not the number of lines. I'm not sure why you
have a problem after only 18K characters. At any rate, I don't have any
workarounds for this problem.
