Rakesh, I'm not sure that the problem is that you have a long function name. The error indicates that the function already has been declared some where else in your application.
Make sure that you not by mistake have declared the function twice, or that you have a function with a similar name. This other function might even be ocated in a different module, if you have more than one MapBasic module (.mb).

Is there a limit for the DLL also that the function names must be a maximum of 31 characters like other MapInfo symbol names?
