8. Implementation Limits

1. Maximum line length. No limit beyond maximum max 'int' (~2,000,000,000). Effectively the R margin is at the end of the line, however long it is, unless the R-margin option is specified.
2. Maximum variable name length. No limit. Warning if you exceed the COBOL limit of 30.
3. Non-numeric literals have no length limit.
