Data Maximum number of sed squeezing
Hi all,

What is the maximum number of sed squeezing in one shell?? I've surprised with this message when I squeezed 50 sed in the same shell:

Code:
253: Identifier too long - maximum length is 18.

This is what I've did in my sed query
Code:
| sed -e "s/ 0   /Default     /" | sed -e "s/ 1   /Co-workers_Employee /" | sed -e "s/ 2   /Internet                      /"  etc......

and 50 another sed

How can I solve this problem

Are you using informix? since that is where that message appears to be from.

Exactly!!!

I'm using Informix database under HP-Unix, but when I ignore using 'sed' I have no problem with this query, and also when I use 'sed' 5 times its bring the data with replacing the number normally.
