Hi, one guy gave me the idea to use a @picklist instead of the dialog box, because the 64 KB limit is not there. But it’s not like that. In the 8.0 Doc it’s clear mentioned: “@PickList can return no more than 64K bytes of data”.
WHY is it no possible to double the limit to 128 KB or higher. Let the customer decide if he will use it or not. But do it by this new release, because it’s a ugly old limitation. Nothing for the 21st Century !!!
Thanks for constructive feedbacks.
Subject: different limitation
DialogBox will not allow you to display the choices if they total more than 64k. PickList will.
So for instance if you have 100,000 people to choose from, you’d have to show them in a PickList rather than a DialogBox. The DialogBox would not display that many names since they’re surely going to total more than 64kb.
However, once you do select a name from the PickList, the returned value must be less than 64kb. So if you’re returning the person’s address whose name was chosen, their address would have to be less than 64kb.
