xHarbour Bug Reporting?

Hello,

FieldName() seems to only return the first 8 characters. While this is OK for .dbf based databases this is not good for SQL (Oracle, MySQL) based databases as the field name lengths can be much longer.

What is the best xHarbour place to post this potential bug?


Thanks,

Michael

FieldName() ( or simply FIELD() ) return a string in max 10 character. Because in native DBFBTX rdd max field name length is 10.
