Bug Autocode?

[mbui]

I made some additions to filemaintenancetemplate.html for my own extensions, like i did before.
Now when i generate a program with this, part of the HTML-code is just missing.
I analysed VVACFMNT and saw that the templatefile is placed in variable templateFileT via vvIfs_readFile which is defined as 65535 (64K).
The size of the template has grown to 82K while the size of the previous version was 63K (damn, didn't realize i added that much!).
This seemed to be the problem.

I changed the size to 99999 but the result stays the same.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

I see now the problem lies in vvIFSReadfile which is maximized to 64K.

According to the API-documentation you can read line by line as well via this utility.
I'm going to try to change the retrieval of the template in VVACFMNT this way.

When calling the api with READLINE it only returns the first line with APIStatus -1.
I debugged it and the problem seems to be in the statement where the Positionfile (C-Api) is called:

position=positionFile(inFileHandle:position-bytesRead:CURRENT);
bytesRead=65535
position = 7 (previously set by:
position=%scan(LF:readData);)
This returns -1 in position.

If i understand correctly the positionfile-api should place the cursor after position, like:

position=positionFile(inFileHandle:position+1:CURR ENT);
?

The size of the template was definitely the problem.
I have split the template in 2 files, read them in 2 separate variables and concatenated these.
This workaround works, but isn't an elegant solution.
Every time i change the template now i have to split it up before i can use it.
I sure hope you can come up with a better one...

Maybe try referencing the code used by procedure vvOut_file as this loops through an IFS (vvIfs_readFile) file using READMAX.
