How do I increase the buffer size for StationID variable

[WDLV]

I am trying to read the StationID string variable in TestStand,which holds the computer name. It currently truncates to 14 characters.

How can increase the size?

Thanks in advance.

Hi WDLV,

What version of TestStand are you using?  I tried this in 3.5, 4.0, and 4.2 and verified that the StationID (RunState.Root.Locals.StationInfo.StationID) was able to contain a name longer than 14 characters.  Are you using this method to access the stationID, or something else?  Also, are you seeing this with any sequence or just a particular one?

Hi , Thanks for answering. I am using 4.2, Yes, I am using this method to access the Station ID. I have not tried this with any other sequences but this is a Batch modell process variable not affected by sequence files, correct?

Hi again, never mind I found out that the Computer NetBios name is limited to 15 characters from within windows.

The problem stems from there and not from TestStand.
