	~~Under <var class="product">Sirius Mods</var> Version 6.5, this~~ method returns the maximum ~~<var>stringlist</var> item~~ length~~. Under <var class="product">Sirius Mods</var> Version 6.6, this method returns~~ the part of a <var>~~stringlist~~</var> item that is on the first CCATEMP page of the item. While items can be considerably longer than this (up to 2**31-1 bytes), this limit still affects some methods. For example, the <var>[[Locate and LocateUp (Stringlist functions)\|Locate]]</var> and <var>[[Locate and LocateUp (Stringlist functions)\|LocateUp]]</var> ~~will~~ not search beyond the <var>MaxItemLength</var> column in a <var>~~stringlist</var> item.~~		This method returns the maximum length of the part of a <var>Stringlist</var> item that is on the first CCATEMP page of the item.
