As an exercise I used donna's example on an A400 using 7.5. I was able to
create up to foo10387. I then deleted all of the foos and changed the
prefix to the variable name to just be an "f". This time I got up to
f10417. So the length of the name of the variable does indeed affect the
number of variables one can create.
