Hello, Your data source has problem. You should consult data vendor, they should be supplying EMASTER/XMASTER files because only those files handle long names (52 characters). Only very ancient MASTER files have limit of 16 chars. New plugin attempts to read from EMASTER/XMASTER and then upto 52 characters are read. Only when your data source does not supply EMASTER/XMASTER it switches to legacy and ancient MASTER file.
