Table 33: Layout of the option record

When output is via the SNMP subagent SESAM, the (variable) number of lines required are displayed for the DBH options.

The maximum length of this option record has increased since SESAM/SQL V3.2. The actual length is variable and is stored as before in the first two bytes of the option record.
