Marian had problems with a lengthy string variable.

There should be no problem creating a string variable of 241 bytes:

. gen str241 junk="I tried to generate a cross-table by using a stringvariable as I
> tried to generate a cross-table by using a stringvariable as I tried to generate
> a cross-table by using a stringvariable as I tried to generate a cross-table by
> using a stringvariable as I tried to generate a cross-table by using a stringvari
> able as I tried to generate a cross-table by using a stringvariable as "


. desc junk

storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------
junk str241 %241s
