I create my own mib module and i have no problem to define it there as static char connections_list_value[1024]; and i didnt have problem to call get and set with 1024 chars – user1495181 Sep 13 '12 at 16:18
@user1495181, the problem of your own overriding is that except your own objects, all other objects are still using 255 as maximum, where you introduce unnecessary incompatibility. If you don't like the limit, create your own type of DisplayString, such as MyLongDisplayString. Never override an existing type especially when that type is widely used elsewhere. – Lex Li Dec 17 '12 at 9:45
