That's *left* field, Jeff, but that's OK. :-) I think we're talking about the problem described in SR D500261875. It's a limitation on the length of the INFO string that can be passed from the C/iX compiler (CCOMXL) to the preprocessor (CPP or CPPANSI). Full details are in the SR.

No fix for 5.5 is considered. : I don't know if the above "command line" refers to C89, the CI or : the CI's info= string. : In release 5.0 exp 3(?, maybe earlier?) the CI's command line buffer was : increased from 279 to 511 bytes. But the RUN command is parsed by the : MYCOMMAND intrinsic and has a 255 byte token limit, so the info= string on : the run command is still limited to 255 bytes. However, "implied run" (like, : XEQ progname "info") supports an info value up to as much as remains in the : 511 byte CI buffer. : Jeff Vance, CSY ----------------------------------------------------------------------
