krishkasiAMPER VARIABLE Question
Hi All,
Can you please clarify my doubts below?
What is the maximum length of alphanumeric value an amper variable can hold?
What is the maximum amper variables can be used inside a single fex?
Thanks a lot in advance.

GinnyJakesI found all of this by doing an advanced search. Please see upper right-hand corner of this page:
General rules for supplying values for variables:
The lengths of values stored in Dialogue Manager (amper) variables vary by context:
When used with the commands -READ, -TYPE, and WRITE, the maximum length of a variable is approximately 32,000 characters (32K).
When used with other Dialogue Manager commands or the EX command, a variable value cannot exceed 4,096 character (4K).
The maximum number of amper variables available in a procedure is 1024, of which approximately 40 are reserved for use by FOCUS. This includes all local, global, system, statistical, special, and index variables.
This is the link I used.July 14, 2008, 05:46 PM
WazGinny, that is what the Documentation says, but I have produced more than 3000 variables, it is related to the combined length of the variables as well.
The best course of action is as always, follow the documentation, and you can get support if there are any problems.
Also, for those that don't know, the length of an amper variable name can be up to 100 chars (although I don't know why).
