Is there a size restriction on stage variables used within a Transformer Stage, i.e. number of bytes/string length?

There are restrictions on things like numeric precision and such. Can you please state your issue?

There's no documented limit to the length of a string constructed using an expression. However, the result must be able to fit in available memory.
There is a limit to the length of a string literal (constant), namely 255 bytes, not including the surrounding quote characters.
