Limit to input when creating a SAVE file? [message #82872]

I've got a series of save files that contain monthly data (the variables are all the same name, and most are 1D but a few are 2D arrays).

I wanted to restore each of these save files and concatenate the data all together and then save them in a new save file.

Rather than just using "save, /all" I know the names of these variables (one of the variables is a list of all the other variable names) so I thought I could use execute to pass this list to the save command

i.e.

str='save, filename="all_months_data.sav",' +variable_list
exe=execute(str)

But the SAVE function crashes and it looks like it's because my "variable_list" is too long. Is there a limit on the length of the arguments that can be passed to SAVE?

Is there a nicer way to do this?

Cheers
