can the default length of a variable name be increased?

can the default length of a variable name be increased? i am not referring to the length of the variable, i mean the NAME.
ex: variable name: Diameter, Discharge (In) Filter Type: text Length: 100
<

---

31

the system default obviously is 30 characters.
if yes, where do i change the default length?

thanks

So you don't mean the variable "MyVariable" is a text type variable of 30 characters that you want to increase to 100.

What you mean is you still have a text type variable of 30 characters, but it is called "MyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLongVariable"

The length that you get is fixed, you can't change that, all you get for variable name is 30 characters. You're going to have to abbreviate it a little bit.

If you are speaking about "Field Name", you cannot change length of field name, but you can use longer "Field Caption".
