SYS(3055) – FOR and WHERE Clause Complexity

  • Article

Sets the complexity level of the FOR and WHERE clauses in commands and functions that support those clauses.

SYS(3055 [, nComplexity])

Return Values

Character

Parameters

  • nComplexity
    Specifies the complexity level. The valid range for nComplexity is 320 to 2040. The default value is 320. If you specify an odd value, it is rounded down to the closest even integer.

Remarks

If you receive the error 1308 - Insufficient Stack Space or 1812 - SQL: Statement Too Long, you can increase the FOR and WHERE clause complexity to help prevent the error.

For example, calling TABLEUPDATE( ) for a local table or view that doesn't use key fields generates a long WHERE clause to find the update row. The default number of fields supported in the WHERE clause is 40. If you receive the error 1812 - SQL: Statement Too Long, you should either use a key field for the update or increase the complexity of the WHERE clause with SYS(3055). If you use SYS(3055), increase its value to 8 times the number of fields in the table:

= SYS(3055, 8 * MIN(40, FCOUNT( )))

If SYS(3055) is issued without the nComplexity argument, its current setting is returned.

The following commands and functions support the FOR or WHERE clauses:

APPEND FROM APPEND FROM ARRAY AVERAGE
BLANK BROWSE CALCULATE
CHANGE COPY TO ARRAY COPY TO
COUNT DEFINE PAD DELETE
DELETE - SQL DISPLAY EXPORT
FOR( ) INDEX LABEL
LIST LOCATE RECALL
REPLACE REPLACE FROM ARRAY REPORT
SCAN ... ENDSCAN SELECT - SQL SORT
SUM TABLEUPDATE( ) UPDATE - SQL
