Purpose

To specify the maximum record length per task for all input records.

Format

 /INMAXRECORDLENGTH max_length

Arguments

max_length the length in bytes of the longest input record.

Location

This option may appear anywhere in the task definition.

Defaults

If you do not specify a maximum record length for the input records, Connect ETL uses 65535 bytes, which is the default value.

Notes

While this option tunes and thereby enhances task performance, records from byte-stream sources that are longer than the specified maximum record length are truncated.

For the maximum record length of all supported file/record formats, select the links in the Connect help topic, File/record formats reference.

Example

/INMAXRECORDLENGTH 16777216

This option sets the longest input record length of a task to 16777216 bytes.
