   Length of field that is to contain the table data. The table file's record
   data is stored in this field, except for the first table's field (the
   code). The length indicated represents the maximum length of the data
   stored. This value should not be less than the maximum length computed by
   summing the single fields of the table file.

Example:

     Table file.........: Table1
     Fields.............: Code,     C, 10
                          Descript, C, 35
                          Stored,   L,  1
                          Date,     D,  8
     Max. length........: 44 (35+1+8)
     
     Table file.........: Table2
     Fields.............: Code,        C, 10
                          Description, C, 15
     Max. length........: 15
     
     Min. Table length..: 44 (Table1)

   By default, the length is set to 150, but there are no limits to this
   data, except for Clipper's.
    Naturally, if a high value is set, a lot of space is wasted for each
   record.

   If the length is modified, the same rules apply as for changing the table
   name.
