Essay With A String As A Parameter (Statement)

It would be nice to make the macro as simple as this:

dim sz as string
sz = “ in here the character representation of the ascii values from the image file”
call BuildTableLiteral (sz)

Sad to relate, there is a limit on the length of the string literal that can be assigned to a variable, brought about by the limit of a statement length.

No problem you think. We’ll just use continuation characters!

Not in a string literal you won’t.

And besides, there’s a limit of 20? or 25? continuation lines to a statement in VBA.
