Hi Rohan

Why do you want to do this? 

I believe you might encounter some problems doing this. The 256 char
limit is, if I remember correctly, enforced by the xml schema for the
foxml objects. This can be readily changed, however, so that is not a
problem. But I believe the label is stored in the backing database, and
the table schema specify that the label field is 256 chars. The label is
also stored in the Resource Index, which might also enforce a 256 char
limit for Literals. 

Would it be a problem to store the label in a datastream instead? You
could put it in one of the fields in the DC datastream, which will make
it appear in the Resource Index. Or you could perhaps make a Literal
relation in RELS-EXT?

Regards
Asger
