Message text: Key length of table to be created is greater than 255 bytes
The key length of the character-like fields of the table, that is the
total of the field lengths of all character-like key fields is greater
than 255 bytes.
Note that some versions of SAP IQ only permit a maximum key length of
255 bytes.
If the version of SAP IQ that you use is subject to this restriction,
the structure table for infostructure &V1& is created on the standard

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
If this is the case, check to see whether you can use a version of SAP
IQ that supports a greater key length for the character-like fields.
