The Question is: I understand that a DCL symbol name can be 255 characters, and that a 1K buffer is available for symbol assignment that includes the symbol name and assignment contents (assuming a character symbol.) My question is how many characters can be read into a s ymbol via a DCL read command? This is assuming a sequential file containing nothing but printable ASCII characters? Thanks. The Answer is : Why ask, when you can simply try it?
