Is there an OS-imposed limit on the number of characters stored in variables under Solaris? I seem to recall a 1000-char limit, but don’t remember if it was due to a particular application, shell, the OS, etc.
Any help is appreciated
What type of variables are we talking about here? Environment variables? If so it may be a limitation of both the kernel and/or the shell.
I’m sorry, yes, environment variables, specifically in the Bourne shell.
