Job Step of more than 3200 characters

Hi,
An ActiveX script has 42318 characters in a vbs file. We are trying to use this .vbs file as a job step. We get this error message:
--
Edit Job Step - 192.168.1.75\TrialJob
--
The specified file ('mailscripts\send_auto_con.vbs'), is 42318 characters in size, which is larger than the available free space in the current Job Step command (3200 characters).
Do you want to continue opening this file but have its contents truncated.
--
Yes No
--
Can we execute the vbs file as such? Can somebody help us with this issue. Thanks in advance.
regards,
MadhuTry executing the vbs file using CScript and a CmdExec job
step instead.

Job step command box can hold only 3200 characters

I could not load a batch file into the command box of a job step because it
exceeded the 3200 character limit. How do I increase this limit?
Mucho gracias.
LaEsmeraldaUse another job step.
