What is the longest line that can be displayed in the Debug window?

Keywords:     debug truncate truncated 

Question:

I thought my one of my run statements was getting truncated, because only part of the line was getting displayed in the Debug window, up to the space preceding a "@" sign.

What I believe made me suspect that the @ was causing problems is when I was watching the code execute in debug mode, the line would only showed as far as the character before the @ sign.

Is the debug window expandable to show longer lines or is debug sensitive to the @ sign?

What is the longest line that can be displayed in the debug window?"

Answer:

Debug will try the entire line. If the entire list does not fit, it will be truncated at the last space character that does fit.

The exact number of characters depends on video drivers, screen resolution, etc.
