Note:

Starting in WinBatch 2001A, ClipPut no longer has a 64K limit.
Starting in WinBatch 99K, Fixed problem with ClipGet truncating text greater than 64K.

Question:

In the following code:

	clip=clipget()

I'm getting the following error:

        1036: clipboard > 64000 bytes
        WinBatch version 2000C

Why is this happening? I can manually copy this much data to the clipboard...

Answer:

Looks like that 64k limitation, in ClipPut is a hang over from 16 bit windows. This function was originally designed to run on both 16 and 32 bit platforms. We will update it to nologer have that limitation in the next release.

In the mean time, here are a few other options...

ClipPut("");empty out the clipboard
;ClipAppend doesn't have the 64k limitation
ClipAppend(stuff)

*or*

Use BinaryClipPut......
