BUG# 8624 (4.20.00)

= SYMPTOMS =

When using dbstrcpy to examine the contents of the current DB-Library (DB- Lib) command buffer, only the first 32767 bytes are copied to the destination address.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in DB-Library version 4.20.00. This problem was corrected in DB-Library version 4.21.00. For more information, contact your primary support provider.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The size of the command buffer is limited only by available memory. Under 16-bit Windows and medium-model MS-DOS, this results in a maximum theoretical size of 64K. Under large model MS-DOS, OS/2, and Windows NT, the size of the command buffer can be much larger.
