Hi,
TBCREATE tablename keys names
variables defined in names is 8byte restricted. Is there any way I can overcome this restriction?

but it displays pe-fixnot.
Please help |

sorry to disillusion You but the rules are the rules...
You will have to resort to some good mangling of the names, and to write comments in your code
but after rereading Your post the pefix-notification.html does not look as a proper ISPF variable name,
and what You are experiencing looks more like a data truncation issue!
if the dialog is written in REXX You will not have to worry about the variables content ( the content and length is variable dynamic )
if You write in a <higher level> (*) language then You will have to ensure that the lengths are corrects ( declarations and Vdefines)
(*) they might be higher level, but rexx is orders of magnitude smarter! |

pefix-notification.html is not a variable..its the value the variable defined in name will contain...but my problem is its ending with pefixnot..is there any logic I can apply to prevent this truncation? |

No.
It is not a restriction. It is a design.
You can always ask IBM to change their design. If you do, let us know the response. |

I am trying to create to display all the files of the hfs path on the ispf panel (not ishell) but similar view like ishell..
ishell view is
Type Filename
_ Dir .
_ Dir ..
_ File manoj
_ File pe-fix_notification.html
_ File samjcl.txt
_ File uk57310.zip
but my view is
SEL Description
_ manoj
_ pe-fix_notif
_ samjcl.txt
_ uk57310.zip
if you can see pe-fix_notif is getting truncated..
now the problem can be where?? As I have jst realised that names variable is storing full pe-fix_notification.html while in display its showing pe-fix_notif only.. |

What you are trying to do is really unclear at this point.
Please post the code to (a) Build your table, (b) Display your table.
Maybe we can get a better idea of what you want to do and how your code looks. |

| All I can add to this is that the ISPF variable name must be 8 characters or less. The actual content of the variable can be considerably larger. |

if Your variable content is not displayed properly, check the length in the panel definition!
by the way You talk about 8 bytes ... but You show that You are able to display 12 bytes! and in Your first post the example showed 9 bytes!
a bit of counting problems... I suppose 
no reason to be upset... yes Your initial post had a confusing terminology.. |

code goes like this
/***for reading the files in the path **/
Parse Arg Passed_path
Call Setup
Call Syscalls 'ON'
Address SYSCALL
"readdir" Passed_path stem1 stem2
Do i = 1 to dirlist.0
If left(dirlist.i,1) = '.' Then Iterate
If dirlista.i.ST_TYPE <> S_ISDIR Then Do
p=p+1
PickFrom.p = dirlist.i
End
End
PickFrom.0=p
/**for building the table **///
Address ISPEXEC
"TBCREATE FILLIST
KEYS(TKEY)
NAMES(TNAME) NOWRITE"
sel_start = 0
Do i = 1 to PickFrom.0
Parse var PickFrom.i Tname
Tkey = i
"TBADD FILLIST"
If tname = ' ' then sel_start = i
End
"TBTOP FILLIST"
/**for displayin the table **/
Title = 'Description'
Info = 'Displayed for Selection from ' Passed_path
Do until rc ¬= 0
"TBDISPL FILLIST PANEL(sel@List)"
if tsel = 'S' Then Do
If tkey > sel_start then leave
End
End
"TBCLOSE FILLIST"
If tsel = ' ' Then picked = ' '
Else picked = strip(tname)
say picked
/* Call $setmsg , 'Sorry File Selection - not available.',
'Under development'
MyRC = 4 */
Adieu :
Return(MyRC)
Setup :
stem1='dirlist.'
stem2='dirlista.'
p=0
MyRc = 0
Return |

| Since the question is about displaying the information, show us your panel. |
