RE: Field Reference File

["Gary Monnier" <gary.monnier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you must carry every name of every field rather than element names
only just create another field reference file.  In your new FRF why not
carry element names rather than full field names?  I suspect after some
investigation you'll find a huge number of data element replications in
your existing FRF.

Guys,

We use a field reference file to hold every field in every file in our
main
application, so that we have unique file names across our app.

Unfortunately we have reached the maximum record length for a file, so
can
no longer add fields to our current field reference file. 

Can anyone think of a way to overcome this problem, and does anyone know
if
the maximum record length increased
in V5R2

Cheers
