OLE DB Hangs Trying to Access Field Over 32,745 Bytes Long
This article was previously published under Q183553
At runtime, when the OLE DB Provider tries to access a field of more than
32,745 bytes, it hangs.
The mainframe IBM DFM manual states that, for SAM data sets and PDSE
members, the maximum length of fixed-length records is 32,760 bytes and for
variable-length records is 32,756 bytes. For VSAM data sets, the manual
states the maximum record length is 32,760 bytes.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft OLE DB Provider
for AS/400 and VSAM version 1.00, included with SNA Server version 4.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
