SYMPTOM(s):
Dump-Name in delta.df file appears to be missing letters from table name
Table name is longer than 8 characters
Dump-Name shows only 8 characters
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.1A
OpenEdge 10.0x
Progress 9.x
Progress 8.x
UNIX
Windows
CAUSE:
The _dump-name in the _file system table is formatted for 8 characters, while the _file-name is formatted for 32 characters. Hence, only the first 8 characters of the _dump-name will be displayed. For example, if you create a table named "justtesting", the Dump-File will only show "justtest".
FIX:
Pre OpenEdge 10.1B, this behaviour is working as designed.
Since the advent of 64-bit alignments for example, in OpenEdge 10.1B, this dump file name is now equal to the table name. The limit is still 32-characters for Tables, Index and Fields.
