Re: Maximum size of text response

["Julian Satran" <Julian_Satran@il.ibm.com>]

There is practically no limit although
the spec specifies a minimum "grand-total" that an implementation
must support.
In any case none of those limits where
devised for the responses to the SendTargets but rather for "parameter"
type of text.
For Sendtarget the initiator will fill
whatever DataBase or Screen it needs and
the initiator "paces" the
reception of responses through its Text commands according to its "absorption
capability".

Subject	Maximum size of text response

The spec says that immediate
data size in a Text Response
MUST not exceed MaxRecvDataSegmentLength.
If the response
for, say "SendTargets=All"
command, cannot be sent in one PDU,
the target can spread
it across multiple PDUs (setting
F bit to 0 in all but
the last PDU).
 
In this case, the spec
doesn't say what the maximum
cumulative size of all
the PDUs can be (or am I missing it)? 
 
If there a limit on the
maximum datasize, which parameter 
determines that - MaxBurstLength?
 
thanks!
