Not enough spaces for path

VONDY
When I use our part number - example: 136538-038-01-1 in our path line for a new part number, I get an error. I have to remove numbers from it which confuses some people here, anyway I was asked to see if this number of spaces could be increased to allow for our full part number instead of shorting it. I think I am at a max. of 8 spaces.
Thanks in advance for any assistance

    Path for what? Datapage? RTF Files? Some other path? Which path?
    I have lots of things with MUCH longer paths.
  • path line for a new part number,

    RT Editor - Database - New - Create New Database

    I know there are people that have longer file names, that is why I am asking how/where I need to go to increase this so that I can enter more numbers. My settings must be set to 8 spaces.

    OK, that helps. Yes, you are limited to 8 spaces for the creation of the databases in Datapage, it never came OUT of the DOS age. HOWEVER, you CAN make a new, blank database, in Datapage Editor, then once it is made, you can re-name the directory or anything else in the path, BUT NOT THE FILES IT CREATES in the directory.
  • Thanks Matt

    When you go to OPEN the new path, you will see 'funny' text for the path name, since DP only 'sees' 8 characters, I don't know if that will be an additional problem for you, if in the path, the 'real' name is PART123456789. you will see PART12~9 or something like that. That might also be a problem, however, the path in Pcdmis will show correctly.
