The length restriction depends on the Internal Storage Method selected when
the UDF is created. The older Files method is the one with the 1024
restriction. The Expanded Files and User Spaces methods do not have the
restriction.

We've used Tli for 20+ years for EDI. I went to expand our PO Header file
today - adding two fields to the end. We received a message when trying to
update the associated User File Definitions (UFDs). The message indicated
that it exceeded the maximum record length of 1024. The file previously
had a record length of 1018.

TLi tech support is telling our EDI coordinator that this is an "IBM
limitation" related to "user spaces"... they cited this KB article:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/record-length-table-exceeds-page-size-limit

Funny thing is that we have another file for Warehouse Shipping Order from
2007 that has a record length of 1131 - we've used that extensively over
the years.
I had to remove the two new fields and recompile everything again.

So I'm not going to let this go... that's just my nature. Support is not
going to just blame this on IBM limitations - my guess is that it's a
limitation with how they implemented the corresponding user spaces - I just
know very little about it.

Wondering if anyone else with TrustedLink has ever encountered this issue?

TIA,
Greg
