Portable name length is limited to thirty-one (31) characters. All characters in a name are significant in determining uniqueness. Therefore the length restriction places an implicit limit on the number of unique names on an implementation. If a name’s length exceeds an implementor’s limit an error condition occurs with ecode = "M56".
