Good Afternoon, FOCUS Nation:

Way back in the day the maximum name of a HOLD FILE was eight characters. (And servers took up a lot of real estate - nobody misses the goold old days Smiler .) Our environment is now in version 8.1.05M. What is the maximum name length of a PCHOLD file allowed?

Thanks in advance for all of your kind guidance and directions.

In the doc you would probably have found the rule yourself, but here is a way the prove and find it

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
-* Can hold with more than 64 characters in HOLD file's name
-*ON TABLE HOLD AS ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_1234567890_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_
  ON TABLE HOLD AS ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_1234567890_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
END

-* Max 64 characters in TABLE FILE file's name
-*TABLE FILE ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_1234567890_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_
  TABLE FILE ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_1234567890_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
  PRINT *
  END


WF versions : Prod 8.2.04M gen 33, Dev 8.2.04M gen 33, OS : Windows, DB : MSSQL, Outputs : HTML, Excel, PDF
