What do you mean by length ?

Number of fields ?

Size of the file ?

Size of the record ?

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.
