One of the limitations observed with a GUI over text environment with superlayer is the inability to cut and page a large text block (ie, from an email) into a paging area (ie, for notes/comments). :x:

Has anyone experimented with using Blobs and editboxes? I know they can hold up to 2gig each, but am curious how to set it up. I tried creating a table with a blob ("B" type) and did the external interface, but the file only allows 4 characters for length (far short of 10 for 2000000000!) The logic guide is very brief on the implementation of Blobs, making me wonder if its not really supported. :unsure:

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Kevin

PROIV only supports the storage and handling of blobs via the DB. It does not have a datatype
of blob available for field use.

To create and store large type edit areas > 2K you should use an ActiveX control such as MS RTF and PROIV 5.5. You would of course have to use VIP to impliment this and call the resultant function from SL :lol:
