Error while running "Create Application" wizard

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to use the "Create Application" wizard (APEX 3.1.0) to generate a report/form application based on a table. When running the last step of the wizard, the process fails with the following info:
ORA-20001: Unable to create modules. ORA-20001: Create pages error. ORA-20001: Unable to create form page. ORA-20001: Error page=2 item="P2_SZRXSTG_APPL_COLLEGE_STATE_" id="1625410167910413" ORA-20001: Error page=2 item="P2_SZRXSTG_APPL_COLLEGE_STATE_" id="1625410167910413" has same name as existing application-level item. ORA-0000: normal, successful completion
Unable to create application.
These are the three table columns that seem to be causing the error:
SZRXSTG_APPL_COLLEGE_STATE_1
SZRXSTG_APPL_COLLEGE_STATE_2
SZRXSTG_APPL_COLLEGE_STATE_3
From what I can tell, when generating the code, APEX seems to be cutting off the last character from the column names and it's attempting to create multiple items for the same column.
Any ideas on how to work around this?
Thank you,
Teddy
Update:
Seems the reason is because total length of an item name in APEX is 30 chars. My column name is 28 characters, and when the wizard is creating the page items, it prefixes each column name with a "P2_" which pushes the last char off the column name.
As a work around, I just created the report and form pages separately, and chose not to add those three columns to the form page.
Out of curiosity, is this something we can avoid or work around any other way, or will I have to always be wary of my column names in this sense?

Looks like the long column names mess up the wizard. You can create an application on a "similar" table, one with shorter column names. Then edit it the page processes that refer to the column names/table name to refer to the real table name and column names.
