APT_MAX_DELIMITED_READ_SIZE

Set the APT_MAX_DELIMITED_READ_SIZE environment variable to specify the upper bound for the number of bytes InfoSphere® DataStage® looks ahead to the the next delimiter.

By default, when reading, InfoSphere DataStage will read ahead 500 bytes to get the next delimiter. If it is not found, InfoSphere DataStage looks ahead 4*500=2000 (1500 more) bytes, and so on (4X) up to 100,000 bytes. This variable controls the upper bound which is by default 100,000 bytes. Note that this variable should be used instead of APT_DELIMITED_READ_SIZE when a larger than 500 bytes read-ahead is desired.
