As I had 316 characters (including the []'s) I had to come up with a slick solution. I created 2 new variables: 1SMTP_SERVERS and 2SMTP_SERVERS and split the ips between those variables. I put the [ at the beginning of 1SMTP_SERVERS and the ] at the end of 2SMTP_SERVERS. I then assigned SMTP_SERVERS = $1SMTP_SERVERS,$2SMTP_SERVERS and got it to work. Any plans for extending the length of the variable database field? krypticet  7/24/2007 9:14 PM    Jeff Dell 237 posts www.activeworx.com Re: Variable length capped at 256?  The database actually has a limit of 255 for this field. This would require a schema change and we are not planning any schema changes in v2.1. Since v2.1 is about ready to be released, this will have to wait until v2.2. I have however added this to our to-do list. Cheers, Jeff  Page 1 of 1   Previous   Next     Forum  IDS Policy Mana...  IDS Policy Mana...  Variable length capped at 256?
