Hi,

Sorry if this appears twice, could not tell if first posted.

What is the maximun length of a varaible name?

x=1 not problem, but
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=2 this is too long, yes? How long can it be?

Thanks,

You did not write what type of variable you are using, or why you think
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=2 is "too long". That makes it difficult to
advise you.

Since this is the programming group, and most posting about variable names in
this group would be using VBA, then:

"Variable names must begin with an alphabetic character, must be unique within
the same scope, can't be longer than 255 characters, and can't contain an
embedded period or type-declaration character."

Since this works:

=======================
Sub foo()
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx = 2
Debug.Print xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
End Sub
======================

you are going to have to be more detailed in describing your problem.
