No, back before version 6 it was a bad idea to have really long job and stage names. I seem to remember 40 was about the maximum before DS internally started truncating things.

The maximum length for a job name by default is 768 bytes. This is because the job name is the key to the hashed file DS_JOBS.
The maximum job name length is set by the MAXKEYLENGTH tunable in the uvconfig file. In current versions this is set to 768 by default. It can be increased to 2048, but there are implications for hashed files in doing so.
Don't increase MAXKEYLENGTH without being very aware of the possible pitfalls.
