st: too long string-variable to get proper output

[mbohl@rumms.uni-mannheim.de]

I tried to generate a cross-table by using a stringvariable as  
rowvariable (names of spanish political parties) with up to 50 signs  
(%50s), and the years of the elections of spanish congress as  
columnvariable (%4.0g). I always got the %50s-variable truncated to 20  
signs in the output, so I couldn't transfer the table properly to an  
excel-sheet and finally had to use SPSS to manage it. is there a  
possibility to enlarge the first column for getting the whole 50 signs  
in?
