You can change this value in rpe-launcher.ini and rpe-studio.ini files by changing the value of the com.ibm.rational.rpe.console.limit parameter. If the value is smaller than 1000 or not set, no limit is set for the logs in the console view. If the value is greater than 1000, a maximum limit size character is set in the console view.
