I didn't see any text in your message, but if you subject is the entire question I'm going to take a stab at what you're asking.
There is a limit to the number of characters you can define in a "set var"
so you simply keep adding them together. For example:
SET VAR vText = ('Let us define a huge text string with lots of text.')
SET VAR vText = (.vText & 'But to make it even longer we must keep
concatenating.')
SET VAR vText = (.vText & 'That should work!')
