Inappropriate “Response Too Long” Message PSS ID Number: Q23073 Article last modified on 06-17-1987 PSS database name: D_MPlan

MS-DOS

Problem: I am unable to eXternal Copy a file with a file name, including the path name, that is 31 characters in length. If I try, I get the message “Response too long” and the file does not link. If I take the same file and Transfer Load or Transfer Save it, it performs that function correctly. Similarly, if the file that I am trying to eXternal Copy is less than 31 characters, and the main file that I am saving has a file name equal to 30 characters in length, I will get the same message when I try to save the main file.

Response: Microsoft is evaluating this problem.
