Is the default Argument_Size still 64KB? Considering the fact strings may take up more space now for the same amount of characters..
This seems like a relic that does not belong in Next Gen anymore (or in 19.1, imo).

instead of changing the default size it really is time to get rid of this relic

the should have been removed a long time ago

Yes, argument_size is still 64kb. Not sure if increasing the default would help a lot. Getting rid of it is pretty high on our list, but it might not make it into this rev.. When we started NextGen we kind of assumed it would go away naturally with the Unicode changes, but it did not..

Yes, Please get rid of it. It's a real pain when dealing with filetransfers (with for examples webservices)
