You can't AFAIK, but perhaps you can split it into multiple parameters. Where are you using this?

I'm not sure if that is a DS limitation. What UNIX platform are you on and have you checked to see what your LINE_MAX setting might be?

You won't find it using echo. Look into your file /usr/include/sys/limits.h and search for the assignment of LINE_MAX

Shivadas - what do you mean you don't know how to get the LINE_MAX?
I just posted instructions on how you can see your setting.

Or it may be a stage limitation on the size of the SQL.. which stage?
