Error creating a focus file with an index fieldname greater than 12 characters

Hi All,

I can't seem to create a focus file (using on table hold) with an index that has a fieldname longer than 12 characters.

When I use this it works:

ON TABLE HOLD AS FILENAME FORMAT FOCUS INDEX INDX_NAME123

If I use this it does not work and gives me the error below.

ON TABLE HOLD AS FILENAME FORMAT FOCUS INDEX INDX_NAME1234

Error occurred.
ERROR: MR_UNKNOWN_ERROR -12: Pcb2.: java.io.EOFException

Is this a bug or is there a limit on the length of the index field name?

Jim

That's definitely the limit - 12 characters. Don't know if this is improved in version 7.
