[Gvsig_english] gvSIG 1.9 and exporting tables (problem with csv tables)

[Francisco José Peñarrubia]

Hi Wolfgang.

Dbf files doesn't support long field names. You can have a look to this 
especification:

http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/dbf.html#DBF_STRUCT

FieldName in ASCII only admits 10 characters. This is the reason why we 
can't use long field names. BTW, unicode characters are discouraged...

Best regards and happy new year.

Fran.
