Einar,

You are mistaken, a character variable can be up to 2 gigabytes long, a string literal is limited to 254 characters. Also macro expansion can only handle 254 characterws in the variable being expanded.

I saw Steven Black do a session on strings an VFP and he had War and Peace in a single memvar.
