Thanks Martin,
I just looked at -h limits- but I can't see anything specific to rclass
If I simply store the list in a local macro, it stores it fine and does not go over the limit (as stated in the above help page maximum characters in a macro: 1,081,511), but trying to save it in r() using -return local- that is when it is truncated; so I thought it might be specific to rclass; however I may be mistaken about this...
Best wishes,
Miranda

Hello,
When writing a small program that saved a string (list of variables) using -rclass- and -return local-, the list was prematurely truncated. I therefore wonder if there a limit to the number of characters that can be stored in a local macro using rclass, or if I should be looking for a bug in my code?
Many thanks,
Miranda
