Are there instructions for installing the beta? I can't find them. Thanks, Neal On Fri, May 30, 2014 at 12:19 PM, john Culleton wrote:

When I attempt to render a table with more than about 3000 rows I get the following error. Searching the archives I found one message suggesting that [save size] is hard coded and cannot be increased.

The application is rendering business reports; they are relatively simple documents but we definitely need more than 3000 rows. Is there a way to configure context to render tables of this size?

at some point you will hit other limitations

you can jump the number by changing a line in the source code but as that is cumbersome I changed the beta a bit so that you can add this line in the texmfcnf.lua file in the directives section:

["luatex.savesize"] = "100000",

(i now report the relevant values at the end of a context --make run as some need to be saved with the format due to startup relationships)

I also set the value to 100K by default.

If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

This sounds like a job for a programming language with printing features, and not a DTP program. In my days as a COBOL programmer printing a report from a data file with a million entries was not unusual. As my father used to say there are horses for courses.

Somehow I ended up with a file called cont-tmf.zip thinking it was the beta. I can't even find the (apparently obsolete) page I downloaded that from again. Anyway, installing the beta (per the context garden instructions) worked with the new default. It did pick-up changes to luatex.savesize. Thanks for the help.

Did you look at contextgarden.net? At the top of the page there is a link.
