Hi Garret
If I remember correctly .... (more and more a big if)

I started with DF 2.3. Maybe it was a limit with DF 2.3 that was increased to 32 in DF3.x and I never noticed.
Many times I had what would have been a nice 16 or 17 or ... character name and...
Hi Peter
Thanks for the reply
I agree with you, in many cases longer than 15 characters is much better. Not too long but around 25 is good depending in the situation.
By the way you mentioned the...
dbBuilder DF19.1 working on a DataFlex Native database was ok with field names up to and including 32 characters. After that it said it was too long.
A DF3.2 CM program with the 32 character field...
Thanks Vincent.
I have been working under the rule that 15 was the max for way too many years.
Two rules. Table names max 8 and Field names max 15. I found a workaround for Table names as long...
Thanks Dave
I will try that. It could also be the compiler that up chucks.
I will post the answer.
We are continuing to gradually convert our main application from DF3.2 to DFlex web REST API based.
I have worked under the thought that in a DF3.2 CM application the maximum size of a field name...
Our conversion from DF3.2 CM to DF19.1 and beyond continues.
We have started to use non-recnum tables for the new stuff that only uses DF19.1+ applications.
Fine.
But .... what if, we for some...
I checked with Mertech and they stated if you use the Unicode driver (DF20.1+) do not also use their Classic driver (DF3.2 to DF19.1) on the same database.

We have an application with a MS SQL database that has lots of DF3.2 programs and an increasing number of DF19.1 Applications, mainly WebApps.

Hi Marco
Much appreciate the reply.
Very timely. Its my task for the weekend.
Let me see if I understand. The way I do that is to explain back to you how I think it works.

Both good ideas.
Thanks Vincent.
I am presuming that there are no Windows Api's available to DF3.2 Console Mode that would do a direct call to a REST or SOAP WebService.
Yeah?
Actually with RunProgram you can pass a parameter of 255 characters to a .bat file.
Also it looks like I could call a .cmd file that contains the curl command to call the webservice.
We are slowly but surely converting our DF3.2 Console Mode application to a more modern WebApp / WebService API processing.
What I would really like to do is be able to call a WebService from...

Thanks for the offer but I have already implemented a work around solution.
I too did something that looks like it might be secure, but is in fact a character substitution routine. ...
Thanks Harm!!!
Much appreciate you solving this for me.
Good to know about the option to implement AllowViewAccess centrally in my Session Manager.
