I fixed that in revision 1.496 (see CVS).

The number of 100 options is defined in elogd.c with

#define MAX_N_LIST  100

You could try to increase this to 200, but I have no idea if you will hit some other memory limit then. So what about conditional attributes? You subdivide your list into several smaller lists, like

Attributes = Category, RB

Options Category = Cat1{1}, Cat2{2}

{1}Options RB = a,b,c,d...

{2}Options RB = e,f,g,h,...

this is then also easier to handle, as compared to select a value from a very long list.

Attributes = Category, RB

Options Category = Cat1{1}, Cat2{2}

{1}Options RB = a,b,c,d...

{2}Options RB = e,f,g,h,...

this is then also easier to handle, as compared to select a value from a very long list.

Stefan,

Thanks for that advice. I have made that change to the elogd.c file, but the only problem I don't know how to compile Elog to make that change take effect. I did the stop and restart of the elog  service in windows, but that made no difference. How do I compile ELog? Sorry for my ignorance, but I am fairly new to Elog.

Attributes = Category, RB

Options Category = Cat1{1}, Cat2{2}

{2}Options RB = e,f,g,h,...

You need a C compiler to compile Elog under Windows. If you don't have one, I would suggest to follow the advice to use conditional attributes. This does not require a recompilation of Elog.

I can get my hand on a C compiler. What the process involved?

 Sorry, but teaching you how to compile C programs is beyond the scope of this forum. Please buy a book for that. Most C compilers also comes with some decent documentation. You might try gcc under cygwin or Visual C++.

Stefan,

Thanks for your help. Will get back to you on how compiling the program went.

That was never ment to work. But I found some time to implement it. If you
download elog255-4.exe from today it whould work. Let me know if you have
problems.
