Hi to all FW users.

I'm using FWH + xHarbour

TRY to open a ADT Table with this command:

USE TEST ALIAS Test_tablename SHARED NEW

If you use the alias name long more then 10 chars you receive
ERROR 5050 from ADVANTAGE.

Is it an error of xharbour or I can't use alias name long more then 10 chars in ADT Tables?

Thanks

You are right, ALIAS names have limitations in both, ADS and DBFCDX, they cannot be more than 10 chars long.

Thanks Rene !

But i'm using now DBFCDX and i have no error with long alias name!

I'm converting all my sources from DBFCDX TO ADS and I 've found this error.
I use long alias name only in 1 or 2 points . I have sostitute this long name with another one

Bye
