In older LabVIEW versions that limit applied to the complete typedescriptor, which is why super-mega-prontosaurous clusters could turn LabVIEW into a mess, but that was changed in LabVIEW 8.0 by deprecating the old 16 bit typedescriptor format and instead using a new one that the Flatten to Variant returns. The Flatten to String by default lost the typedescriptor output that used to be the 16 bit typedescriptor.

That should have been of course Variant To Flattened String instead!

Can you possibly save that to labview 9.0.1, as that is what I am using.  I'm wondering if it's a max TOTAL number of characters issue, as I have 754 entries

Here it is in LV9

And is there a reason to use enum?

If it is just list of numbers, use ring control for the user interface, populate it without recompiling vi, convert to numeric in program.

I do not know exact task, and how these numbers are spread, but for the list I would limit selection to ~20 items: categorize them (make 2 selectors), make filter, use slide, etc.
