dbaccess long identifiers

Hi all We are looking for a way to configure dbaccess to not cut tablesnames after 18 characters. It's not even possible to see tablenames shorter than 18 characters if the owner is displayed before the tablename. That's always the case if you are not owner of the table. BTW, isql doesn't cut after 18 characters. TIA Reinhard

There is no way to set the width of the tablename list. However, a week or two ago John Miller posted a way to change the display from three columns to two columns which expands the width of each column. Search the forum history. Art Art S.

There are two ways to see the full table name. 1. The full table name is display at the bottom of the screen for the highlighted tables. 2. the full table name can also be displayed when hitting the + (the plus sign.) dbaccess has to deal with table names that can be 128 characters.
