[R] error "variable names are limited to 256 bytes" when sourcing code

[Wu Gong]

I can only repeat your error message :)


> n256 <- paste(rep("A",256),collapse="")
> assign(n256, 1)
> n257 <- paste(rep("A",257),collapse="")
> assign(n257, 1)
Error in assign(n257, 1) : variable names are limited to 256 bytes
