If you want a full explanation of any error code then open the Dev STudio command console and type
? errornum
where errornum is the error you wish to see. In your case -
? 336
This gives -
(FOC336) THE SUM OF ALL FIELD LENGTHS EXCEEDS MAXIMUM. The sum of the lengths of all fields in a structure exceeds the limit. The default limit is 32,768 bytes. Reduce the number and size of the fields in the file, or eliminate JOINs and cross-references if possible.
In other words the size of the master that you are trying to access has fields that, when all the lengths are added together, exceeds a WebFOCUS limit. That being 32Kb!
You need to reduce the size of your master file.

Is this the (length of the fieldnames) or (the width/size of the data contained within those fields)? So, we can "PRINT *" more fields if the fieldnames/data sizes are smaller?
I couldn't find the documentation on this.
What's the "Limit" in 7.6.11, still 32kb?

77: (FOC336) THE SUM OF ALL FIELD LENGTHS EXCEEDS MAXIMUM. The sum of the lengths of all fields in a structure exceeds the limit. The limit is 262,144 bytes. Reduce the number and size of the fields in the file, or eliminate JOINs and cross-references if possible.
It concerns the total size of the contents of all fields, not the fieldnames.

That limit has not changed in 77 or 8 as far as I know.

? VERSION
EDA7612 Release * Current Software:
EDA7612 Release RELEASE = R727612B
EDA7612 Release GEN_NUM = 421
EDA7612 Release SOURCE_DATE = 06/02/2010 16:02:45
EDA7612 Release BUILD_DATE = 06/03/2010 11:52:44
So, when did this change to "262,144 bytes"? Sometime between 7612 and 77?
