[Stackoverflow] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] Input-output through stream utilizing memory

[Screll]

help with the following would be appreciated.

I am trying to run an OS-command in progress using input-output through.

Case:

Run command: "echo 'this is a long string'"
Capture output: "'this is a long string'"


Issues are:

• My input string may be greater than the character limit
• When running directly using through "program" or through value("expression") The input is truncated to ~2500-3000 chars.
• Entire operation runs fine using files, but want to avoid IO and management.
• Having trouble attaching my data to the OS-command (utilizing put OR export)

Could anyone suggest a method to execute a command line, with attached data exceeding 35,000 characters?

This is what I have tried: (Along with many permutations)

define variable cLongMsg as character no-undo.
define variable iLoop as integer no-undo.
define variable lcResp as longchar no-undo.
define variable cFileLine as character no-undo.
define stream logStream.

input-output stream logStream through "curl".
/* execute curl -- attach data using put */
put stream logStream "Stack Overflow - Where Developers Learn, Share, & Build Careers".
put stream logStream CONTROL NULL(0).
output close.




read_loop:
repeat:

import stream logStream unformatted cFileLine.
assign lcResp = lcResp + cFileLine.
end.

input close.
input-output close.

message "[OUT] " + string(lcResp) view-as alert-box.
