  • 1.  Datacap variable length

    Posted 10/19/20 12:46 PM

    Hello,

    does anyone know the maximum variable lenght Datacap can handle? We could not find anywhere.

    We sometimes get 400 Error when calling Datacap WS with createBatch request that has very long batch variables.

    However this error is very rare.

    Many thanks for any answer.

    BR,

    Normally if it's a string field it's 255.

    Thank you.

    Do you know by any chance if we change the datatype in the XML request, will the variable be saved?

    Hello Jan,

    If you add a variable you should see it in the datafile.xml.

    It's possible that the file is not updated yet if you are in middle of change the value. Feel free to set the batch on hold. This will write or update the datafile.xml.

    Hello,


    the issue is that the xml file doesnt even get created.

    We use the WS createFile request and only when some batch variables (for identification, subjects etc) are too long the xml file and the batch is not created.
