Abstract :
Given a positive integer k and a prime power q with q \\leq k , it is proved that the largest value of n for which there exists an [n,k,n-k+l] maximum distance separable (MDS) code over GF (q) is k+1 . A simple proof for the largest value of n for which there exists an [n,2,n-1] MDS code over any finite field is also given.
