Well, if you mean that the LIST array presented to IMAGE is smller than the
string needed to contain the entire list the most obvious would be a -52
status returned by DBGET, since the list would probably contain what IMAGE
would consider to be an invalid data item name.

If you mean that the length of all the items in the LIST presented to DBGET
is longer than the BUFFER allocated to hold them, you'd have a classic case
of buffer overrun, and anything up to and including a program abort is
probable.

Hello all,

In IMAGE DBGET, what happens if the LIST of ITEMS is longer than the BUFFER
being put into.
Besides the obvious truncation, is there any impact?

Thanks.
