PB 12.1 build 6639 - Win7

I have a legacy datawindow that takes 4 arguments (number, string, string, string) which passes all 4 arguments to a nested datawindow. That works fine. But if I add a 5th argument (string) to each, then when I run PB, the nested DW prompts me for the arguments. Is there a limit to how many arguments you can pass to a nested DW?

Hi Scott;

  No practical argument limitations. If I recall my old PowerSoft days ... 255 arguments is what I remember as the limitation.  ;-)

  Note that in the parent DWO - you will need to remap the new 5th argument to the child DWO.

HTH

Regards ... Chris

Chris, thanks - your responses are always rapid and reliable. Thanks so much!



Due to an impending deadline, I scrapped to 5-arg solution, and instead went with multiple DW objects with 4 args each, and assigned one to the nested DW depending on flag settings.
