    We are in process on writing the conversion program for GHR implementation.  GHR needs long filed names like
    ContactDetail.Telephone.InternationalPrefix”. I tried to use 800-OVRDESCCSV- API, but it only uses 35 chars on the override field name.  Is there a way to get big filed names?

      Srini... are you looking for these long names to be used as headers on a csv file? If so, you can create a seperate csv file containing the header names your want to use and then set your csv attributes to not create header records. Once your processing is complete, you can issue a command in your program to concatenate the header file your created onto the csv data file. Not sure I am understanding exactly what you are looking for however.

        I was looking for longer csv file header names. I think your solution should work.

        Thanks

          Any time I need "non standard" csv headers, I will set up a "header csv" file and then concatenate that onto the file at the end of the program.   Works great
