Filename Character Limit?

I've got an action that takes a file and spits it out to gif and jpeg, but when it does so it clips the filename of the original psd if its over like 29 or 30 characters (for example: "31character_long_filename_blahblah.psd" becomes something like "31character_long_filename_bl.jpg" after export).
One blog I read said disable the Mac OS 9 option in the flyout menu of the Save for Web Output Settings Dialog box, but it was already unchecked/disabled (though Unix is checked). Does anyone know if there's some way to get Photoshop to allow more than ~30 characters for a jpeg or gif filename?
This problem occurs in Windows, Photoshop CS2, on a standard office Dell. I'm pretty positive it's not a Windows problem because the original psds that have long file names are not being clipped. Only exported jpegs and gifs are being clipped. Anyone know why this is happening, and if there's a way to fix it?

Silly mistake, I had disabled the Mac OS compatibility checkbox on my computer, but not on the computer that was having the problem. Here's the solution:
In the Save for Web dialog box, next to the Preset drop-down menu, click on the flyout arrow and select "Edit Output Settings." A dialog box comes up, select "Saving Files" from the drop-down menu that reads "HTML" by default, and uncheck "Mac OS 9" in the Filename Compatibility section.
Hope that helps someone.

Accounts character limit

Can someone advise what the character limit for accounts is?
I have noticed that the documentation mentions it is 30, but when checking the field under views it shows 80 and we can add an account larger than 30.
If the field has been changed to 80 are there any other conflicts it may run into if I go above the documented limit of 30? or have they just not updated the doco.
Thanks for your help
Nick

Hi Nick ,
Yes, the account name can exceed 30 characters in 11.1.1.6 . The 30 character limit was the old limit on 10g but has been extended to 80 characters.
This limit is set in the database tables and can go to 80 characters in 11.1.1.6.0.
SQL> describe documentaccounts;
Type VARCHAR2(80)
80 characters is the default and is related to the OS limits because the account name is used as part of the filename.
Documentation has not updated this information for the newer releases .
Thanks,
Srinath

Copying multiple sheets, 255 character limit

Hi all -
I have a script that copies multiple worksheets to a new workbook based on criteria. All the worksheets use the same template. Two of the cells (A6 & A8) contain more than 255 characters so all the text does not get transferred to the new workbook. Is there a way to 'bypass' the 255 character limit? If not, can I somehow tie in the copying of A6 & A8 to the copying of 'every sheet' without actually scripting every single sheet? Make sense? Here's the code -
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
     set xbook to make new workbook
     tell workbook "Retail_Product_Specs.xls"
         choose from list {"Whole Food Juices, 10.5oz", "Whole Food Juices, 32.0oz", "Antioxidant Elixir, 11.0oz"} with title "Exporting Product Specifications" with prompt "Choose Method of Export:"
         if result is equal to {"Whole Food Juices, 10.5oz"} then
               set exportSheets to every sheet whose name contains "10.5"
               set savePath to "Users:KRT:Documents:Sambazon:Production:Finished Product Specs:Product Specs:Copacker Specifications:10.5oz Whole Food:Spec-WF-10.5oz.xls"
         else if result is equal to {"Whole Food Juices, 32.0oz"} then
               set exportSheets to every sheet whose name contains "32.0"
               set savePath to "Users:KRT:Documents:Sambazon:Production:Finished Product Specs:Product Specs:Copacker Specifications:32.0oz Whole Food:Spec-WF-32.0oz.xls"
         else if result is equal to {"Antioxidant Elixir, 11.0oz"} then
               set exportSheets to every sheet whose name contains "Elixir"
               set savePath to "Users:KRT:Desktop:Test.xls"
--set savePath to "Users:KRT:Documents:Sambazon:Production:Finished Product Specs:Product Specs:Copacker Specifications:Antioxidant Elixir:Spec-Elixir-11.0oz.xls"
         end if
     end tell
copy worksheet exportSheets before sheet "Sheet1" of xbook
     tell active workbook
         set bounds of first window to {3, 124, 563, 861}
         delete sheet "Sheet1"
save workbook as filename savePath
         set sPWORD to "dummy"
         repeat with tName in (get link sources type link type Excel links)
break link name tName type link type Excel links
         end repeat
         repeat with tName in (get link sources type link type OLE links)
break link name tName type link type OLE links
         end repeat
     end tell

end tell
Thank you!

I'm sorry, here's a quick summary - all of our product specs are in one workbook. There's 5 different product categories (only scripting 3 for now). Each category of product is produced at a different manufacturing plant. When changes are made to the spec sheets, I need to export each category of products into their own new workbook so I can distribute it to the appropriate plant. I might need to export one category, some, or all. Make sense? Pain in butt.
So! I think the code you provided is heading in the right direction...but I obviously have something in the wrong spot. It's taking the copied sheets in xbook and making three additional copies. Also, the cells are not being copied. I'm assuming the "copy worksheets exportSheets before..." is in the wrong spot, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Also, I could duplicate the original workbook and delete unwanted sheets. The current script has grown beyond my initial expectation, so that might be a better option!
BTW - I don't understand why you have "set value of cell..." and then "set value of range...". Can these both be cell or range, or is there a reason for the two?
Thank you so much for your patience and details!

How can I get around the character limit in the "print pages" option

I have a rather large PDF file and I need to print certain pages (for example, pages 1, 324, 456, 759, 812, 946, 1206, 1562, 1792, etc.). However, when I click on print and try to type in the pages, there is a character limit, and it is much smaller than the number of characters I need to type. Is there a way around this? Thanks.

OK I figured out the answer. Ctrl+J opens up the console (You have to activate javascript). The following script will extract the pages into a new document, and then you can simply print those pages. All you need to do is fill up the "pageArray" array with a list of your pages, separated by commas. It does not support ranges.
// Extracts all pages listed into a new document
var pageArray = [INSERT YOUR LIST OF PAGE NUMBERS HERE, SEPARATED BY COMMAS];
if (pageArray.length > 0) {
var d = app.newDoc();    // this will add a blank page - we need to remove that once we are done
for (var n = 0; n < pageArray.length; n++) {
d.insertPages( {
nPage: d.numPages-1,
cPath: this.path,
nStart: pageArray[n]-1,
nEnd: pageArray[n]-1,
    // remove the first page
    d.deletePages(0);

Character Limit to Custom Calculation Script?

Hi. I have a document that has a text form field. I want to run a custom calculation script that basically says if field "Group Number" = xxxxxxx, then field "Group Name" should = ABC Company.
I have a list of almost 575 group numbers and names that I need to put in the script. And I've got the script working just fine but I am guessing there is a character limit to the script field???? It won't let me put my full list in there.
Any suggestions on how to get around this??
Thanks,

I think I might have one error but I thought I had corrected it. Let me run this by you. My "if" lines are like this:

But the code doesn't seem to like the ' in the Group's name. Is there a way to correct that without getting rid of the ' .... ?????

Is there a character limit for a field in CrystalReports?

Is there a character limit for a field in CrystalReports?
Hello,
I'm trying to display a long text (+100.000 characters) stored in a MySql database in CrystalReports but CR is not showing the complete text. Is this because there is a length limit for fields in CR?
Thanks,
Eddy G.

This is not a great answer, but you can base your report on a SQL Command, then use something like this for the command(MS SQL):
select
case when length(table.field) > 65535
      then substring(table.field,1,65535)
      else table.field end as field_part1,
case when length(table.field) > 65536+65535
      then substring(table.field,65536, 65535)
      when length(table.field) between 65536 and 65536+65535
      then substring(table.field,65536, length(table.field)-65535)
      else '' end as field_part2
from table...
Then in the report, display both fields where you want the BLOB data.

Is there a character limit for iTunes U course postings when viewing in iOS app?

I have created a course in iTunes U using the web interface, but when I view the course on my iPad it doesn't show the entire post. Is there a character limit in the app or something for what will display?
To make things even stranger, I went back to the course editor in my browser and saved it again (effectively re-posting it) and when I restarted the iTunes U app in iOS the post was cut even shorter! I'm using an iPad 3rd gen with iOS 6.0.1.

No, there is no workaround. You would need to find a downloadable copy of old apps.

JKM DB2 400 column and table name 10 character limit

I am trying to set up CDC on an iSeries. I have successfully loaded data with the LKM SQL to Oracle, and now I want to set up CDC for the table and am trying to use "JKM DB2 400" . I get invalid token errors when I try to start journalizing, and it appears to be the table and column names, used to set up CDC, which are more than the 10 character limit. Tables like SNP_JRN_SUBSCRIBER seem to come from the getJrnInfo function and other table and column names are hard coded. I want to copy the JKM and reduce all of the names to less than 10 characters.
Where else are these names used? How does the interface know which table names to use when set to use only journalized data and how can I change it to use the new shorter names? Is there a better solution?

Thanks to all for assistance. It turns out that the 10 character limit, about which the server people warned me, isn't an issue with my ODBC connection. The invalid token error was being caused by some missing qualifiers in the generated sql which caused appearances of ".tablename" rather than "tablename" and other similar. I was able to modify the knowledge module to eliminate this issue and the CDC worked correctly on my first test.

HT201991 What is the character limit for length for video or song reviews?

What is the character limit for length for video or song review?

One other thing I found... It was still doing the spinning clock and locking up, but it took a while after boot for the problem to crop up.
I pulled the media card and found that there was a media sync folder under Blackberry\System that had some files in there that were pretty big. The artwork file was over 150MB and some other files were largish.
I deleted the entire media sync folder and now it seems to be behaving itself. No more spinning clock and it seems to be slowly returning to normal. (Besides all the messages it deleted during the whole process)
If anyone else runs into this I would say you should clean the folder off the media card along with disabling the sync. Seems the BB still reads that folder and processes it if present.

UserID field increase 12 character limit

We having an issue with the 12 character limit which would like to
increase for the purposes of pushing data from SAP HR to the LDAP using
the Unique user ID.
I can't find any notes on this issue.

Hi there,
if you are refering to the user id in the ABAP store, it is not possible. I have opened an OSS message recently to ask SAP for that. UserId length in the Java stack can be enlarged.
Kind regards,

Can we get a character limit for the subject line?

Some of the more annoying posts place the entire story in the subject line.
(e.g. http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=334536&jump=true)
The problem is that the edit window when replying blows the margins, making it wider than the screen.
I would think that e.g. a 132 character limit would be sufficient for titles. If anything posted from the newsgroup exceeds that, it could be truncated.

I agree with Christian,
It seems that some people want to describe the entire issue in the title instead of providing a synopsis..

Does Siri have a character limit when composing emails?

Hello,
I have been trying to use Siri to get some emails done while I'm driving. I can start the email okay, I can get the "Subject" just fine, and I can get into the body of the message just fine. However, as I start dictating the body of my email, Siri will interrupt me in the middle of speaking and ask me if I am ready to send it. This will happen when I am mid-sentence---literally.
I'm wondering----is this because I have reached some sort of character limit that I'm not aware of, and once that limit is reached you can't do anything except send it? I say "period" and "comma" as I'm speaking, but there is no long pause to make Siri think I'm done speaking. I am speaking the entire time, and Siri interrupts me mid-sentence and mid-word right in the middle of me speaking.
Any idea what's going on? Thanks!

The limits are the same-hardware and software-and refer to the ability to address the memory.
If you have a 32bit operating system, it's limited by the same 4GB limit (2^32=4,294,967,296).
If you have a 64bit operating system (such as OS X Tiger) running on a 64bit computer, it's theoretically limited to about 17 Billion GB.
So, with Tiger, you're not likely to run into a memory limit anytime soon.

Login password character limit?

Is there a limit to the number of characters you can use for a login password in OS X 10.4x? The Mac login screen can display 14 characters, but it seems that you can keep typing after 14 (you just can’t see the additional characters).
Thanks,

W.J.,
Thanks for the welcome and the help. I created a test account with a 32-character password (all numbers). I could not log in with the first 31 characters, nor could I log in if I added characters beyond the original 32; only the 32-character password worked.
Next I changed that password to a 50-character password. Again, 49 characters would not work, nor would 51; just the 50-character password would get me logged in.
So, it seems the password character limit is at least 50, but quite possibly more ... I just didn't take the time to enter more numbers to verify it. I'm wondering if the real login password character limit is 256, which from what I've been told is the login character limit on a PC.
I also noticed that I could enter more than 31 characters in the password assistant, even though the slider indicates a limit of 31. And the password I entered (again, a series of numbers) improved in quality as I increased the character count past 31 (think in this case the field itself had room for 39 characters).
In short, I haven't really found the limit to a Mac login password character count.
