Karen was kind enough to send me her create statements. I don't think the problem is the size of column names. Once the table is created. And you can do a list showing it is created. A browse of the SYS_TABLES shows that the table is 3744 characters well below the max of 4092. If you do an INSERT command in v7.6 for DOS or v7.6 for Windows. You experience an unrecoverable error. In DOS you are kicked to the dos command prompt. This happens in earlier versions of RBase for DOS.
Does any one on the list have a table with the number of columns appracing over 740?
