8 Storage space restrictions

The size of a single routine must not exceed 20,000 characters. The size of a routine is the sum of the sizes of all the lines in the routine. The size of each line is its length (as defined in 4.1) plus two.

Note: In contrast to previous versions of the standard, there no longer is a specification of local variable storage. Like global variable storage, local variable storage can be arbitrarily large. The implementation’s conformance statement must specify the minimum guaranteed amount to be available.
