Is there a problem with the row object?

Product: Acrobat 5.0.0 3/22/01

Problem: Populating a form using the ADBC/ODBC row object and database field names

Goal--->Populate a form from a database using ADBC and ODBC

Tried-->*MS Access database worked (ok).
*HP 3000 ILMS Legacy database has data field name problems.

Symptoms:
(1) This DOES NOT work!
this.getField("DATA_SET_NAME").value = row.DATA_SET_NAME.value ;

(2) This works!
this.getField("DATA_SET_NAME").value = row.DAT.value;
(The row object truncates all characters except the first 3 field name characters)

Observations:
(3) The getColumnList object returns the correct database field names!

Questions:
(5) Is there a problem with the row object?
(6) Is there a work-around?
