Are there any future plans to increase the size limit
of a JAL script?

Before we started using 24x7, we hada policy to
document at the top of our jobs the changes that
had been made to the job. We would list all that
the job did along with any changes, who made the
change, and when the change was made. With the
size limit, this is no longer possible.

The size of single script is limited to 32K. This is an internal limitation of the job database file structure. Max field size is 32K.

If you have problems with the script size consider the following 2 options:

1. Break your script into pieces and move common pieces to user-defined statements.
2. Save scripts in external .JAL files and reference those files in your jobs using @SCRIPT macro-variable.
