| Title | Reader's Clinic - Line Length > 256 Characters |
| Keywords | MSG TERMINATOR STRING TCL LIST |
| Text | A person who wishes to remain anonymous had PROBLEMS compilimg a program the compiler kept reporting "terminator missing on line x" Looking at line x there didn't seem to be a problem all delimiters nicely BALANCED Then we noticed that the line (it was a call to MSG) had a literal of length greater than 256 characters Mystery solved AREV does not like literal strings this big so if long messages are needed use A : B E g "end of" : "my message" (On a similar note remember that TCL statements such as LIST should not exceed 1000 characters If they do the report does not work So be careful with long dict names!)
