2330.0. "Max length for MSL attributes?" by STAR::ALLISON () Wed Feb 12 1992 13:59

    Does anybody know what the maximum length of an attribute name is?  I
    looked in the manual and searched in here but couldn't find anything.
    I have an 49 char length attribute which seems to choke the dictionary
    routines.  The compiler accepts it no problem but when I read the
    dictionary, I get bizarre behavior from accvios in dict routines to
    trashing of my data.
    
    Thanks.

2330.2Update please...DFLAT::PLOUFFEJerryFri Feb 28 1992 15:308
RE: .0

  Could you please provide me with an update on this problem?

  Are the dictionary routines still "choking"?
  Are you still getting access violations in the dictionary routines?

2330.3Seems to work now...STAR::ALLISONFri Mar 13 1992 16:1611
    Sorry for the late response (I just got back from two weeks in
    Seattle).  
    
    I tried a 59 character attribute and it seems to work fine. This is
    with DECmcc (T1.2.4).
    
    So everthing seems to be working ok. I'll post an update if anything
    goes wrong again.
    
    THanks,
    Gary
