Roscoe® Interactive Environment 6.0
This error message indicates that the file the user is trying to import has more lines than the AWS (Active Work Space) maximum allows. The maximum number of lines that can be imported is a parameter that can be set In Roscoe. However, the largest value for this parameter is 32000. It does not matter how many characters are on the line as long as it is not greater than 255. If the length of the line is greater than 255, you will not get an error, but the line will wrap and each line of the file will use up 2 lines in the AWS, reducing the total line limit to 16000. The line limit does not have anything to do with the amount of DASD space the file occupies.
Increase the line limit if possible. Determine what the line limit is set to by running the AWS rpf (ro.aws) from the Roscoe command line. The limit is displayed in the top right column:
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF LINES 32000
Examples
If you cannot increase the line limit, or you are already at the line limit, the workaround to manage an import of a file with over 32,000 lines would be to use multiple AWS's.
