"Word Too Long" Error

[Michael Campbell]

Folks

I am getting a "word too long" error when trying to run a cob -Z -o command with a list of about 1900 objects. Does anyone know why this would be happening or what I can do about it?

Any Help Appreciated

hi

"Directive word too long: keyname"

You have compiled with the "-Zx" option. The object file was generated, but a data dictionary could not be built, for the reason listed below. Remove the error condition and recompile to obtain a data dictionary.

With one exception, the words contained in a directive, including field names, cannot exceed 30 characters. The value of a WHEN directive may consist of up to 50 characters. You have exceeded the limit.
