>Hmmm. I just chose a variable at random in a table and created a dummy index expression of length 240. But I also just tried your method with a char (150) and added an index without trouble. This is a regular index. Did you try a test table (no DBC) with one field only, see if that works?

Yes I did. I created a DBF file name test with just one
field called test1 of type CHAR and of length 150, then
I issue the following command :
index on test1 tag xxx
and I received this damned message. I tested it a further
more to notice that the maximum length of a key expression
that is allowed is 120. Is there a special setting that I
should do ?
