Max number of storage variables in SERIN command

[KeithRB]

The Serin command lets you string an arbitrary number of result variables. Is there a limit to the number you can put in the command, or will I run out of RAM space first? 8^)

The syntax will mark it as correct for any amount of variables. Since the command puts what's received straight into the variables, it would make sense that it would work, however it would be unproductive because you'd have to overwrite variables multiple times.

For example, lets say you are looking for the 300th byte in a series, could you put 300 b0's so that after the command it contains the byte you want?

Seems to have worked for me; 1000 bytes read into b0, 1135 bytes used of 2048 on an 08M2 ...

Thanks, Hippy. I thought the compiler might have a limited line length or something.
