This page explains various limits imposed by mIRC version 7.19, however this may not be a complete list. The length is measured in bytes (equivalent to ASCII characters, including spaces.)
You can find the original limits page here.
mIRC
| Name | Length | When exceeded | Description |
| Global limits | |||
| Line Length Limit (LLL) | 4150 | Truncated or error | To be precise: 4150 for evaluation results, 4151 for command lines (excluding command prefixes.) |
| Variables (local or global) | 4150 | Truncated | This limit includes the variable's name. Example: using "%a" as a name uses 3 bytes (2 for the name and 1 for a space.) This means that for every extra character in the variable name, the maximum length of the value is reduced. Note: the /set command further reduces the length limit to 4144 due to the 4 characters used by "set ". (LLL) |
| Calculations | Max value: 9007199254740992 | Inaccurate | Calculations past this number will generally be incorrect. Only the first 15 numbers of the result will be accurately calculated. |
| IRC server related | |||
| Incoming lines | 511 | Ignored | Excludes CR/LF. |
| Outgoing lines | LLL | Truncated | |
| Joined channel names | 256 | Parted immediately | Includes channel prefix. |

| Server passwords (stored) | 255 | Truncated | As associated with server entries |
| Server passwords (sent) | 256 | Truncated | As associated with the /server command |

| Incoming PING argument | 506 | Ignored | Limited by incoming line limit. Leading spaces are stripped. |

| Socket name | 255 | Error | |
| Send buffer | 16384 | Error | mIRC's own buffers, not WinSock's. |
| Receive buffer | 4096 | Receipt stalls | mIRC's own buffers, not WinSock's. |
