The problem of validity of the simple relation {lambda}=(n+2l)(n+2l+1) between the screening length {lambda} and the number of bound states in the Stern-Howard potential is discussed and the results are compared with those obtained for some potential with the same limiting behavior as the former one. The main conclusion of the present study is that the above relation does not hold for the Stern-Howard potential but most likely it is very close to an unknown relation to be discovered for the potential.
