I ran an experiment:

setvar i, 1
while true do
setvar i!i, i
setvar i, i+1
endwhile

It took 10338 variable (with small names and integer values) to fill
up the table (which had 161 variable (different sizes and shapes) to
start with. That is a total of 10499 variables.

I did a second experiment:

setvar i, 1
while true do
setvar biglongname!i,
"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
setvar i, i+1
endwhile

In this case it took only 5400 variables to fill up the table (a
total of 5561 entires).

So the bottom line as I see it is that it depends on the variables
and values as to haow many variables will fit in one variable table.


As the person responsible for making sure MPE/iX tables are size
"appropriately", my question is:

Why do you want to know? How many vairables/JCWs do you need per
session? Help me understand the real impact of the table being too
small (if any).
