Hi,

I am using Control-M 6.1.0.3 and trying to set a global variable which contains a string of about 500 chars.

I guess the limit for -varexpr argument is 214.

Does anyone know how to set/pass a global variable with such a long value (about 500 chars)?

e.g:

bash-3.00$ ctmvar -ACTION SET -VAR %%\TEST -varexpr "123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890"
-VAREXPR value too long(max=214):'123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890'

usage: ctmvar
-ACTION <LOAD>
[ -VAR <Variable> ]
[ -VAREXPR <Variable> ]
[ -FILENAME <Filename> ]
[ -QUIET ]
[ -DEBUG <debug> ]

Many Thanks in Advance.

%%TITI%%TATA%%TOTO

so you can concat third and write 3 * 214 caracters ...

remember to put a dot after each variable name
