In the past I've made dictionary names that are very short to save characters. But my real reason for responding is I can't help but wonder what you need 200+ columns for? My first instinct when hearing this is that a report is not what you need. How many rows are in this report? Please note that my email address has changed. Beginning immediately my new address is [email protected] . Use this new address for all communications.

In short, Entrinsik has serious inroads in the academic community and Informer is a reasonably good and inexpensive tool for most reports. However, we are running into issues with some users like to write large reports. Large, by out standards, are reports with 200+ columns in the output. Are others writing reports with this many output fields? If so, are you ever running up against limits in the sentence size (U_SENTLEN)? Our limit is about 9700 chars and we have some reports hitting this limit. I'm having a hard time explaining to some VP types that the database can't handle this size report... Any feedback is welcome. -- Jeffrey Butera, PhD Associate Director for Application and Web Services Information Technology Hampshire College 413-559-5556 _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ________________________________ Disclaimer: This email may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
