  Text:         ISAM key <key-name> too long
 
  Explanation:  A data item that is to be used as an indexed
                sequential file key is longer than the maximum length
                allowed for such keys.
 
  Resolution:   Your COBOL System Reference contains a formula which
                you can use to find out how long indexed sequential file
                keys can be. Redefine the key accordingly.
