Is there a character limit to encoded commands for VBS? [duplicate]

Question

First of all I am a noob in terms of VBS. So of this question does not make sense, please bear with me.

I have created a PowerShell script that I wanted to be launched via .vbs file.

I have succesfully used this wrapper for this in the past.

dim EncodedCommand
EncodedCommand = "COMMAND"

pSCmd = "powershell.exe -noexit -windowstyle Hidden -executionpolicy bypass -encodedcommand " & EncodedCommand

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run pSCmd, 0, True

But as my 'project' grew, so did is size. It's currently sitting at 871443 characters after converting it base64 and I am presented with the error seen below.

Any help would be appreciated.

That is exactly what I wanted to know. Just didn't know how to ask poprely. — Nawad-sama

Apparently the character limit for a parameter is 32700, which comapred to 871443 that I would like to pass will not work.
