Re: htp - passing parameter limit?

Hi Miki,

As Thomas pointed out you are probably using the GET method to post your form data to a procedure. I don't know which OAS you use, but actually we had the same problem. We solved by using the POST method, and using another method to receive the data from the form. Since we switched to 4.0.8, we had the possibility to use form-processing with the VC_ARR objects. This works very fine. I believe they actually use it as an example in the PL/SQL Developers guide, in the online documentation of the OAS. If you use OAS 3 then you probably only can switch your posting method. A work around could then be to create 2 forms within your HTML. In one form you present the input fields, without the submit button. In the second form you create a hidden field, and a submit button. Then you write some JavaScript, which will compress the data entered in form 1, and copy into the field in form 2. Then you can submit this field to your procedure, which will uncompress it, and process it. This was actually done by a collegue of mine, who had the same problem on OAS 3...

Hope this helps,
