filename path limited to 128 characters

[John malczyk]

ESP limits the file path name for linux & windows files to 128 characters. 


Syntax Description for Full FILENAME Statement
• file_name
Specifies the path to and name of the file to monitor.
Limits: Up to 128 characters; case-sensitive
UNIX/Windows: You can use wildcards and spaces in your UNIX and Windows file names and paths.


The maximum length of a Linux pathname is 256 characters. In the <g-bubble jscontroller="QVaUhf" data-ci="" data-du="200" data-tp="5" jsaction="R9S7w:VqIRre;" jsshadow="">Windows API</g-bubble> the maximum length for a path is MAX_PATH, which is defined as 260 characters.  I am requesting an enhancement to ESP to increase the maximum file path names from 128 to 260.
