    SQLDA max length for sqlname

    Hi,

    We are using some tables with descriptive names, for which the columnnames can become larger than 30 characters.
    In our programs (ILE RPG: Exec SQL describe sqlExtract into :sqlda using NAMES) we use the SQLDA to get column information.
    However, we found that the sqlname in the SQLDA is VARCHAR(30), and thus truncating the longer columnnames.
    Is there another way to get around this limit?

    Best regards,
    -Arco
