What is the secret ? :)

I have tdsls400.ddat standard label that is 21 chars. I promoted the label to our production VRC and changed to a 17 char label. Compiled etc as i've done before.

I wanted to keep the label name the SAME as to not need to reprogram all our reports etc.

Since it is shorter than the standard label, do you think I can find a way to make the table def's etc accept it ? It always want to go back to the stnd 21 character assignment because it is longer.

Is there a secret to this or do I have to report to changing my ddat field to a custom label name instead of a standard named replacement ?

You should copy the variant of 21 chars also to your VRC and expire it.

Sweet. THANK YOU.

I figured the same name in the higher VRC would do the trick, I never thought of the copy and expire of the one I didn't want there ...


Thanks again .....
