texte = There is a limit on the length of math variables, and it's 15. For text, it's 254 I think. The docs do mention the 15 limit on math, and also that it must start with a letter, and must be alphanumeric.I found this out for real when I named something longer and it would only set as a variable for the first 15 chars.TerryOn Sep 15, 2008, at 1:45 PM, Govinda wrote:> Can the names of [text] and [math] vars exceed 15 chars in length?> Can we use underscores or dashes in the names?>> Docs for 6.0 still say "no" and "no", but I am hoping the docs are > outdated.
