I am moving a bunch of programs from Unix to Windows and have found that there is a 130 character limit for the using keyword vs 250 on Unix machines.

That is randomly breaking things. Is there some workaround for this?

Brian, what version of RM/COBOL for Windows are you using?

V 12.20

Just installed it a few months ago.

The pertinent error code seems to be 204

Well, the docs say 4096 is the limit, without reference to OS.  This has been a 'squirrelly limitation' for years, unfortunately.

Is it a so-call DOS command, or a Windows command?

Have you contacted tech support?

Not sure what a 204 means.  Windows docs mention (decimal) 203 and 205!

Can you reduce the characters needed by using a CMD file?

I know I do curl commands on Linux that are quite large, but I use the ability of curl to use files to specify some parameters.
