Summary:

When displaying text files via the standard DspFile() cicode functions, the maximum file size of the text file is 1 Megabyte.

Solution:

This is a limitation of the DspFile cicode function. An alternative approach is to use the CiText.Textbox ActiveX control that comes with CitectSCADA. Not only can it display large files, it’s look and feel is customizable.
