RE: a new problem with Ref()

["Guy Tann" <grt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ton,

I remembered everything but the 1000 indicators maximum.  Checking the
manual, it appears that we can have up to 1000 custom indicators.  I wonder
if that includes all of the ones supplied by MS?  Granted, I'm nowhere near
1,000 yet and since I've started combining variables into indicators, I
should be able to substantially reduce how many I have now.

Thanks,

Guy

Limitations are explained in the MSK manual+help

-20 digits max for "Name" positions in a variable (p229)
-20 functions maximum for the assigned variables in an indicator (p229)
-1000 indicators maximum for the total sum of custom indicators in
  the MSK program (p284)
