Q: I would like to add the file pc_tab_exp_field.lng to path_convert but there is not enough room for such a long filename:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>
$mab01_dev/mab01/tab/pc_tab_exp_field.ger

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>
$mab01_dev/mab01/tab/pc_tab_exp_field.ger $mab50_dev/mab50/tab/pc_tab_exp_field.ger
