AX 2012 Buffer size exceeded

Issue encountered where a query exceeded the Buffer Size. Error reported as Statement too long and AX suggests increasing the size of the buffer in the AOS database configuration​ tab.
The default for this buffer is 24K and most documentation suggests if there is a need to increase the size of this buffer as a result of either a query or select statement that is should only be increased by small increments.
However, there is an alternative method of resolving this and that is to use the forceLiterals attribute/property. To do this on a AX query, set the Literal property of the query from Default to forceLiteral. If the issue arises on a AX X++ select statement then use the keyword forceliterals eg

select forceliterals custtable;

Note

You are advised not to use the forceLiterals keyword in X++ select statements, because it could expose code to an SQL injection security threat.
