Hi,
Every field name length for a shape file should be 10 bytes or less. It's restricted by the shape format specification.

Hi,
Beware that the shape file is a very old format and that it has a lot of limitations. See the doc for more info (http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/ArcGISDesktop/com/Gp_ToolRef/geoprocessing_tool_reference/geoprocessing_considerations_for_shapefile_output.htm).
