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.

Thanks GamP, Do you think/know if that changed in 76x or 77? We may be going to 77 soon. But, in the meantime???

Thanks guys, I get the following:
? 336 
(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 65,536 bytes.  Reduce the number and
 size of the fields in the file, or eliminate JOINs and
 cross-references if possible.
? 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?
