Is there a maximum length to a line of code. To be specific, If I want to have a Data line with 500 integers will that be allowed?

In DBC there is a limit to 256 characters line length, and you are only allowed about 30-40 data items on one line. You can still break up that 500 long list into more lines, DB will still read the data in the same way.



will work the same way as

why not do it in one line instead like this :

dim yourarray(500)

this gives you 500 integers and only uses the fraction of the space you need to write out seperate variables.
just be sure and make a personal list of what each variable slot does :
remstart
1-
2-
ect,...
remend

Red Giant, your comments are valid, but the point was how to put useful information into those 500 array slots. The question was whether you can have 500 items in a single data statement, and the answer is no. However I've provided an alternative, splitting up the long data statement into pieces, which are read in exactly the same way.

Of course the author may not know about arrays, I only assumed so because he used the term 'data line' containing more than one item.

That's ok. Making mistakes is how we learn. That, and just reading stuff from books/the internet.

Error: Blah blah blah line excedes 255 characters. Dunno!

i just wish we could split up the bloody lines, like i'll have a line of
if... and
and
and
endif
but for some reason the compiler even for Pro doesn't like the &&'s being on a seperate line, so i either have to shrink it down or redo the IF...ENDIF which is a pain in the ass cause it doesn't work the same when you seperate them (and i'm still unsure why)

@Raven:
if a=1 and b=2
endif
is the same as
if a=1
if b=2
endif
endif
At my computer it works the same.
