aplotnikov	Posted - 12/07/2016 : 05:37:27 AM Origin: 8.6.0SR3 64-bit Operating System: Win7Pro Hi, I use the "getn" command to get an entry number from a drop-down list as follows: //<source_dataset> - a string-type dataset containing list entries //nn - number of list entries in the <source_dataset> loop(ii,1,nn) {%Z="%Z %(<source_dataset>[ii]$)"}; getn (whatever) iEntryNumber:Z The number of list entries is limited by 512 even through the length of %Z-string not exceeding 6290 bytes. What is the reason of this limitation? Is it possible to get rid of it? If not I would appreciate for any helpful hint how to organize a drop-down list with more than 512 entries by any alternative method. Regards, Alexei
