vba

The max number of characters you can use in string in a vba function is 255. I am trying to run this function

Var1= 1
Var2= 2
.
.
.
Var256 =256

RunMacros= "'Tims_pet_Robot """ & Var1 & """ , """ & Var2 & """ , """   ... """ & Var256 """ '"
Runat=TimeValue("15:00:00")
Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=Runat, Procedure:=RunMacros & RunMacros2 ', schedule:=True

It runs a procedure at a certain time and passes a bunch of variables to it. but the string is too long.
