title: Character limit in string variables
body: <p>when I export my data from a .dta file to .sps, my string variables get cut off and the data contains signs, which look like a UTF-8 problem. I think, the problem might be that some string variables have a width over 261- at least they are cut at that point.</p>
  
  <p>Does SPSS have a character limit, and if so, how can I increase the number? </p>
