Can a filename be longer than 8 characters?

In the past, operation systems did not allow for filenames longer than 8 characters for the name and 3 characters for the extension. Modern operating systems support filenames containing dozens of characters, so this is not a problem anymore. Applications using the former limit should be updated.
