Sorry for the newbie question, but I could not figure out an answer:

Where exactly I have to set TEXTSIZE? odbc.ini? interfaces?
Enviroment? configure?

The syntax mentioned here and in the userguide differs, too.
So IŽm a bit lost, but hopeful this will also solve my problem reported a 
week 
ago.

Thx for your patience ...
