Hi Bart,
I looked at this this morning when you reported it...and I also couldn't
find where this limit exists. I tested with a 100 character string and
didn't have a problem with 6.1-dev.
I have removed that limit text from the docs, and I've added a note
about spaces, special characters, and starting with numbers (see
http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/layer.html).
Thanks!

Hi list,
I am bit confused about the 20 character limit for LAYER->NAME that the
MAP file documentation suggests.
NAME [string]
Short name for this layer. Limit is 20 characters. This name is the
link between the mapfile and web interfaces that refer to this name.
They must be identical. The name should be unique, unless one layer
replaces another at different scales. Use the GROUP option to
associate layers with each other.
Is this limit really true?
If I read Steve Lime's reply here this should not be the case:

TIA for any clarification.
Best regards,
Bart
