Maximum Length of Record Structure

Post by DixieAnn »

Good Day,

I will like to know the maximum length of a record in CSPro. I have a data dictionary and the HOUSEHOLD record is up to 1291 position. However, when I check the HOUSEHOLD record length using the Text Viewer, I can only see up to position 400.

In addition, when I try to do a frequency, I am getting a bad struct error.

Could you let me know the maximum length of a record that CSPro can accommodate?

Thanks
Gregory Martin

CSPro can read records much longer than that. (I think the limit is something above 8,000.) Where is your data file coming from? Is it possible that the latter part of the HOUSEHOLD record was skipped, and that is why it isn't showing in Text Viewer?
