The limitation per indicator and exploration column 
is 2499 characters. This hasn't changed from MS 6.5 through to 8.01 as far as 
I'm aware. There are many ways to conserve space but if you've only got 1600 
characters then I don't see your problem. Here are some suggestions for saving 
space.
 

<P class=MsoNormal

o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  <LI class=MsoNormal 
  >Keep 
  variable names as short as possible. 
  <LI class=MsoNormal 
  >Assign 
  a variable name whenever an expression appears more than once.
  <LI class=MsoNormal 
  >Keep 
  comments to a minimum.
  <LI class=MsoNormal 
  >Remove

  <LI class=MsoNormal 
  >Eliminate 
  unnecessary brackets and spaces.
  <LI class=MsoNormal 
  >Look

  Subject: [Metastockusers] Exploration 
  Limitation
  
    I use Metastock 6.52 and have run into a limitation of about 1,500 
  characters for an Exploration.
   
    Is anyone aware of whether the newer Metastock versions, have a 
  way around this limitation? Or, if one can take the results of one Exploration 
  and use that as the input to a second Exploration?
   
  Thanks in advance,
