Document list bug

[Jim Hays-2]

A bug has been reported for the A4D command:  document list  (issue
number 0000756)
 
4D's DOCUMENT LIST command works with file names up to 63 characters,
A4D's version only 31.
 
Does anyone have a suggested workaround?
Can I call a 4D method to retrieve the list and then pass the array from
4D back to A4D?
(I'm looking for this in the docs now, but if anyone can share a method
to do it, that would be great).
 
Thanks,

Jim,

Based on similar experiences with other commands I suspect that 31
character limit is a limitation in the plug-in API and not Active4D.

Your workaround is probably the best way to go.

Thanks Brad,

I wrote a 4D method that calls DOCUMENT LIST, then wraps the array into
text.
A4D takes the text and does a slice string in a while loop.  

The limit for the document name length is 129 characters this way.
