Environment limits
Each Lawson Environment has maximum limits on such things as the number of system codes, program codes, database files, security conditions, and job steps. You only need to be aware of these limits if you do development work (thus, are adding programs or database files), or have a high number of job steps, recurring jobs, or security conditions.
In addition, there is a limit on the length of print file paths. If you exceed these limits, problems result because the system cannot store the complete path to a print file.
