Brad, you can have very long field names in RPG IV if you wish.  They're
limited to use in "extended factor 2" lines, but you can do stuff like
this:

DThisIsAReallyLongStupidNameThatExtendsBeyond...             
DTheColumnBoundaries...                                      
D                 s              1a                          
                                                             
C                   Eval      ThisIsAReallyLongStupidName... 
C                             ThatExtendsBeyond...           
C                             TheColumnBoundaries = 'Y'      

No "I" or "O" specs, so this may limit your usage, but within a procedure
this might be useful.
