number of characters in IRC5.0

in RobotStudio

In all the robot studio manuals that I have read, there is written that the maximum number of characters on an IRC 5.0 controller version of a rob target name is 16. I have downloaded a name of 24 characters to my robot and it didn't complain. Where can I find how many numbers i exactly can use. I can off course test it, but I need a reference.

Thanks in advance!

    RobotWare 5.08 and later supports RAPID identifiers with 32 characters. (Recently, RobotWare 5.15.01 was released.) See snapshot from the RAPID Overview manual available in RobotStudio.
