244 characters is an absolute limit.
If you said more about the problem, there might be another solution, but
you cannot create a string variable with more than 244 characters.

I need to generate a string variable based on the values of another
ones,
but the length of a string is limited to 244 characters (the resulting
variable has to have more than 244 characters). Who knows, what can I
do?
