1. I've never run into either limitation and couldn't find one in doc. How many DEFINEs are you planning to have?

2. Never run into one.

I'd open a case with IB Tech Support and let them give you the official answer to this. That's a lot of virtual fields to keep track of. Please let everybody know what they say. I'd be very interested.

As from a DBMS stand point of view, are you sure that this master structure is the best you can have ?
Can it be moved to normalized tables in a DBMS to avoid that many columns/defines/computes ?

Seems a pretty large master file that I wouldn't want to work with.

Just asking...
