The expression limit also includes white space so if you wrap the command
and indent (inside a while loop for example) you lose a lot of capacity. I
usually try to build up my text string in short commands as another post
described. Then, when RStyle wraps things the expressions don't start
breaking. Defensive progamming.

Subject: Expression length
I wrote a SET VAR v1 = ( ... expression... ) and got error message 2180
"Expression size limit exceeded".
I had about 200 characters in the expression. When I shortened to
expression to about 175 characters, it worked OK.
Does anyone know what is the expression limit? Is it based on the number of
characters or is it based on the number of items such as variables and/or
operators?
