What is the maximum length for a table name?
For the physical file on disk, there are two answers:
- For DBF files (Entry and Help tables), the limit is eight (8)characters. These tables are xBase files supported by a 3rd-party product that has not increased the length of supported file names.
- For batch supporting table files, any valid long file name will work.
For logical table names stored within an Entry table, you can have up to 40 characters.
Form names are limited to 100 characters, which is also the Library manager limit on any file name. Section names are limited to 64 characters.
