Re: [WebDNA] Math variable name length limitations ...
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2012
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 108920
interpreted = N
texte = Chris mentioned moving toward "consistency" and it would be consistent to allow all variables to have long names if it's not going to be too difficult. Then again, WSC has lots of other work to do, so I doubt that this is anywhere near the top of their list. I only mentioned it because I actually forgot about this limitation until I ran into it again. I guess my math variable names usually fall within the existing limits ... :) Sincerely, Kenneth Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.webdnasolutions.com WebDNA Programming and Linux Server Administration > This has always been a limitation for math variables > (since before WebDNA even had text variables, of course > you were there, so you know this).
