  Amnesie said  Hi,

It definitly makes problems, because I learned this the hard way. I was searching for two whole days the problem in my program. I had a variable set to 1 to trigger an subroutine and open a file to preview it. I got an error, that this file doesn't exists. I checked a million times via PRINT debugging the state of all variables and everything was fine. I was about to ask about a bug in this forum and then it HIT me like a stone ... There is a 63 char limitation! Damn!    Now everything became clear, problem fixed.

So the answer is, it does make problems.

Greetings

Thanks, Daniel,
for the confirmation. I would have expected too what you describe. But my question to Peter goes a bit further. I'm still trying to figure out how the strange effects like the spooky "Static" problem (above) came about. These effects are all difficult to prove/reproduce – just like spooks. It would also be interesting to clarify whether the effects are limited to RAM or can destroy data on the drive, even after the files with overly long names have been deleted.

From Peter, I would have hoped for an answer along the lines of: "Yes, no, maybe, 'Not in this universe', 'I don't care.'"
Regards
Michael
