Size limit to variable

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by jfk86d 51

Hi,

I am trying to debug a portion of a new flow in PAD that uses JSON. As part of this, I am trying to paste the JSON text into a variable but it truncates what I paste in the variable.

 

Is there a size limit to variables?

 

Thanks,

John

    I haven't seen any official documentation, but in practice I've seen text variables begin to truncate at around 62,000+ characters.  A Text datatype in SQL is limited to 64Kb.  I suspect a Text variable in PAD is similar.
