This is indeed true.
Do keep in mind that an index record looks something like this
MASTER_RECORD BH 4
INDEX_KEY C ### (From 1-128).
These index records are stored on “Leaves” on the “B-Tree”.
The actual data is stored in the index file. If the key was longer than 128 characters, they wouldn’t fit on the Tree, and it might very well be slower to index the file than to just randomly hunt & peck.

John,
I see a trend for us towards shorter KLN's within our application design. This is due to adopting a lot of the data normalization principles. In essence they lead to having file relationships using an Auto ID number as a primary key instead of longer descriptive fields as we used at one time.

You might be interested in the Sort Command:
Technical Considerations
1.) The following field lengths are required for the D, S & L format specs: D is 8; S is 4; & L is 9.
2.) The total sort key length may not exceed 32,767 bytes.
3.) Up to ten fields may be specified with the MASK specification.
4.) MASK must always be the last specification in a sort group.
5.) The existence of MASK flags the end of the current sort group. Business Rules will automatically treat any specifications that follow as part of the next sort group.
