Determined by memory available for data, and by the storage size of each element of the array, which varies with the array data type.

How long can a remote-console command be, and still display properly in Administrator? 77 characters. Some commands may handle more; others don't. The command itself is neither displayed nor logged as more than 77 characters. More than 77 characters (documented as "addressed" in K-Base, but no new maximum value is documented).

Note Even though strings in LotusScript 4 (that's Notes and Domino 5) can be longer than 64K, there are still restrictions with the length of the string you can read or write using the GET and PUT statements. The only combination of filetypes that will work with long strings is with a binary file and a variable-length string. Fixed length strings, strings in variants, and random files will not work with strings greater than 64K in length because they have a two-byte header which contains the length of the string. Two bytes cannot represent more than 64K.

Lotus Domino : Adds Native IPhone Support

The latest version of IBM's Lotus Domino, set to be announced Tuesday, will natively support the Apple iPhone, allowing users to automatically synchronize e-mail, contacts and calendar data to the popular handset over the air.
Domino 8.5.1 supports the iPhone through Lotus Notes Traveler software and is the first version of the collaboration software to do so, according to IBM. The addition of push e-mail, contacts and calendar will allow iPhone users to automatically get the latest data from their enterprise Notes system and work with that content on the phone while they are out of coverage or otherwise offline. If an iPhone is lost or stolen, the Notes data can be wiped from it remotely for security, IBM said.
The new version will also let iPhone users look through corporate directories behind a firewall with a corporate directory lookup feature.
With the addition of native support for the iPhone, Domino and Notes are supported on the vast majority of the world's smartphones, IBM said. The software already works with the Microsoft Windows Mobile, Research In Motion BlackBerry, and Nokia Symbian platforms. On Tuesday, IBM also added features for Symbian, including the ability to lock a device, wipe data remotely, manage passwords and integrate with external calendars. Those features are already available for Windows Mobile, the company said.
With Domino 8.5.1, IBM also is making Domino Designer application development software available free of charge. Software developers will be able to download Domino Designer free from IBM's developerWorks site to build and extend Notes and Domino applications.
Lotus Notes Traveler, which provides real-time replication between mobile devices and Notes, is supported by several device manufacturers, including Nokia and Samsung, and by carriers including Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint Nextel.

New Lotus Notes Domino 8 ODS version

Lotus Domino 7 uses on-disk structure (ODS) 43. In Lotus Domino 8,
there is a new ODS available. This is an option for administrators to use;
it is not mandatory. It is also not automatically used for a new Lotus Domino server installation.

For databases to be created with the new ODS, set the following variable in your Lotus
Domino 8 server NOTES.INI file:

Create_R8_Databases=1

The new ODS provides potential improvements for I/O and folder optimization and is a
requirement for the implementation of these new features.
