I have one for 95K. Most of the time when I work in developer studio, file gets corrupted and becomes 0k. So to edit this fex, I used to work directly in webconsole.

Thanks,
Ram

In my past experience, didn't notice the fex size, but I'm sure, might have a bigger one than 13K. Because of exceeding the line limitation, server crash happened. So, have to set MESSAGE parameter to OFF.

Well this is going to be interesting.

My fex generates a second fex to do a load of work.

The second fex has 2.8 million lines, and it is still running, about half way though.

I have a couple that are very long with a lot of MODIFYs, MATCH FILES etc. But I don't like working on very long files (short attention span!) so I have them broken into manageable sections and pull them together in one very short FEX with -INCLUDE statements.

Our largest is 165K - not counting -INCLUDEs. We've had no issues up to now - but 2M rows is certainly pushing things.

Let us know how this turns out.

The real issue here is a slow degradation of performance.

I had fixed this years ago, but with many update and changes to the program, its crept back in.

My gut feeling was that it has something to do with -REPEAT loops, but that may not be it.

This was an attampt to produce a single fex that ran end to end with no loops, but the issue is still there.

What does it do ?

I'm closing this thread.

The 2.8 million lines failed, but not due to the size.

I guess the limit is only limited by resources.
