Problem Topic
Sect.2.7: Remove 256 Character limit
Problem Description
Although probably needed in the early days of DMIS, he limit of 256 characters maximum on DMIS statements has always been a problem and this problem has increased since the inclusion of high level language which can potentially make DMIS statement lines longer than before. There are many potential problem areas concerning this limit and several users have complained in the past.

Resolution
Warning!!
The following statement is only a resolution to a Standard Improvement Request (SIR) and is NOT part of the current DMIS standard, nor is it guaranteed to become part of the next revision of the DMIS standard even if voted and accepted by the DMIS National Standards Committee. This resolution is tentative because it may not be incorporated into the next version of the standard, it could be changed prior to the next release, or it could be changed as the result of the "public review and comment" period required for the next version of the standard. If you choose to use this tentative resolution, you do so at your own risk since at this time it is not part of the DMIS standard.
Resolution: Modified text "The statement length can be unlimited." in DMIS 3.0 - Section 2.7.
