Hi Gary,

What collation sequence are you using? It seems that with SET COLLATE TO "GENERAL" the limit is 120. With SET COLLATE TO "MACHINE" the limit is 240 as stated in the doc. I haven't experimented with other collation sequences.

HTH,
Rick

>We had a product description field of length 150. Even though all the documentation says the maximum length for a key in a CDX is 240, I get an invalid key length error when I try to index on this field.

If I kill the CDX and recreate it programatically, I get the error. I have even Removed the table from the DBC, altered the table column to 100, indexed, and altered the table again (trying to duplicate our original procedure) only to get the same error.
