How to know the number of characters in a scorm package
Hi.
We are having trouble with a course not returning to the saved state when the student returns to training.
It is a complex course, with hundreds of variables (most true / false).
The error may be due to exceeding the limit of characters allowed in suspend_data, but we would like to confirm this.
Does anyone know how we can parse the number of characters the scorm file has?
Thanks and best regards

Hello Melissa, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Storyline compresses suspend data to avoid exceeding data limits imposed by some learning management systems. As a result, the suspend_data string in an LMS debug log isn't human-readable.
Hi Leslie,
Does that then mean there is no way other than trial and error testing to see if an elearning exceeds the character limit?
Thanks,
Divya
Hi Divya,
You can check the exact number of suspend_data characters that your course is generating by enabling the LMS debug logs for your course. With the logs enabled, you can go through your course until the logs indicate that the suspend_data limit has been exceeded.
Hope this helps!
