[Newbies] More than 256 literals referenced.

What is the source of the error produced by the following code? ---------- initialize table := OrderedCollection new.

"there are 100 entries like what is below"

table add: ({ #value->2. #cost->-3. #step->2. #defense->3. #combatMove->7. #fullMove->14. #carry->10. #lift->20. #death->20. #unconscious->11. #woundThreshold->4. #recovery->0.5. #mysticArmor->0. } as: Dictionary). ---------- More than 256 literals referenced. You must split or otherwise simplify this method. The 257th literal is: 4360 ----------

I'm trying to create a data table for a program and I'm wondering if I'm limited to 256 literals per class or method. I tried initilizing the table in multiple methods (setting 50 per method) but get the same error.

I'll probably just put the data in a database and do the lookup when needed or load the table from a file. But I wanted to know the source of the problem.

Thanks, Robert
