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.

Print Path Limits
The path for a print file is as follows:
%LAWDIR%\print\UserName\JobName\Step#\
The maximum length for a print file path is 75. Of this length, 25 characters are reserved for the slashes, the "print" directory, the job name, and the step number. The remaining 50 characters are reserved for %LAWDIR% and the user name. Because the user name may include a domain name, the limits on print file names include restrictions on the length of domain names as well as on user names and the path for %LAWDIR%.
-
Domain names should be 15 characters or less.
-
User names should be 20 characters or less.
-
The combination of user name and domain name must be 29 characters or less.
-
The maximum length of %LAWDIR% depends on the domain names and user names that an organization uses. The formula is as follows:
Maximum Length of %LAWDIR% = 50 - Maximum Length of Domain Name - Maximum Length of User Name
For example, if you want to reserve all 29 characters that are available for your domain name and user names, then the maximum length of %LAWDIR% is 21 characters (50 - 29).
Note that the 20-character limit includes the "c:\" part of %LAWDIR%.
If in your organization domain names will never exceed 10 characters and user names will never exceed 15 characters, then the maximum length of %LAWDIR% is 25 characters (50 - 25).
