Follow-up Comment #1, patch #6109 (project pspp):
I've not actually tried any of these patches. But here are my comments:
In por-writer-vls.patch, perhaps "255" should be replaced by something more
meaningfull (maybe MIN_VERY_LONG_STRING - 1)
Regarding the assignment of the display width in sysfile writer, I agree the
current code is bizarre.
I think that a string variable's display width when it is created should be
set to be equal to the format width unless that width exceeds some maximum.
This should be done in variable.c ; I don't see any need for sysfile-writer
to tamper with this parameter.
