Summary: The error message “Improper Split Key Definition” is generated at compile time when any of the fields used to create the split key have the same name as fields in other data files. Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 2.2. However, this is considered to be the correct behavior under versions 3.0 and later (although the error message is different).
