New Job Unable to Copy 200 Line Code Into Command Section

I have a SQL Server 2000 database, I created a new job but I am unable to
copy the 200 lines of code that I created into the command section of the jo
b.
Is there away to expand the New Job Command section?
I cannot use another job step to resolve this issue because I have alot
variables and a cursor used in this job.
This problem is resolve in SQL Server 2005.
Please help me resolve this problem for SQL Server 2000.

200 lines of code in a single job step? That's just insane. Put that
code into a stored procedure, and then use a single EXEC statement in
the job step.

this, I believe the
limit is a bit higher at the TSQL level (i.e., the GUI is the limiting facto
r), so you could have
some more by using sp_add_jobstep.
