What do you mean by length ?

Number of fields ?

Size of the file ?

Size of the record ?

Or maybe length of the file name? (66 characters)

Is this using ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT FOCUS?

If so, an upgrade to 7.6.2 will give respite, or try and get multiple segment structure using multi-verb requests.

FOCUS files have a maximum segment length of 3962, XFOCUS 16256 (I think).

If it is not a HOLD, just split the segment with unique segments.

If it is a focus database the max size is about 2 gig

Are you using FORMAT FOCUS ?

As Alan says, add some segements to the file.

How are you creating the FOCUS FILE
