Specifies the maximum number of spaces any string can have (in a row) not to be split in the Informix® compatibility mode.
Syntax:
QXREP_SPACES={any integer}
Usage and examples:
There are cases when strings are split into shorted strings, e.g.:
§ in the Informix® compatibility mode,
§ when converting classic (.per) forms into .fm2 ones.
In these cases, string containing several spaces in a row can be split in places where these spaces occur:
QXREP_SPACES=2
By default, the maximum number of spaces any string can have (in a row) not to be split is equal to 1.
You can change this number by
→ setting the QXREP_SPACES environment variable in env.properties (for compilation) and inet.env (for runtime),
→ changing the value of gui.layout.break.max_spaces in fglprofile.std.
The default behavior in achieved if none of these variables is set (neither QXREP_SPACES nor gui.layout.break.max_spaces).
In the table below, you can see how the string with spaces is split (for default values, i.e. QXREP_SPACES=1).
The table also gives examples of how strings are split if they contain the symbols considered the beginning and the end of the new string (see QXBREAKCH_START and QXBREAKCH_END for details).

When a string is split in the place where more than max spaces occur, these spaces are trimmed.
In env.properties and inet.env, QXREP_SPACES must be set together with QX_COMPAT=Informix4GL.
