I have been having some very nasty problems with APT-Workbench
on Sybase.

There seems to be a fatal bug with the sqlrow feature. Sometimes
the rowname is stepped on and becomes a null string. This causes
all sorts of problems because we the cannot address that sqlrow
or assign a new row name to the channel.

What is the longest char value that APT-Workbench can handle.
That is not made clear in the documentation and I seem to be able
to define variables such as

	variable sqlstring cha(5120)

Does anyone have any ideas ?
