    Thank you for the enhancement request. However this is not a simple fix due to the logic for handling records up to 256 bytes is currently implemented as a separate optimized path. Based on our current plans and priorities it is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
