Re: st: length of a returned local using rclass

[Miranda Kim <mk@mrc.soton.ac.uk>]

Thanks Martin,
I just looked at -h limits- but I can't see anything specific to rclass
If I simply store the list in a local macro, it stores it fine and does 
not go over the limit (as stated in the above help page maximum 
characters in a macro: 1,081,511), but trying to save it in r() using 
-return local- that is when it is truncated; so I thought it might be 
specific to rclass; however I may be mistaken about this...
Best wishes,
Miranda
