Does anybody know the maximum composite key length for files, in various

Never mind. It was easier to find than I'd thought: 2000 since V2R2, according to the DB2 Database Programming book. I've got an experimental version compiling right now (should be ready by a week from next Tuesday).

That does, however, beg the question of why, back in 1989, QV would have been coded to put a brick wall after 99 bytes.
