Hi,

STRING TYPE is somthing which is variable in length.

Its handled differently at the runtime compared to any other type.

Hi,

You can define a field symbol of Type any.

Field-symbols: <fs> type any.

At run time , you can assign a variable to this field.

Assign VAR1 to <fs>.

Then this field-symbol will have the length of the assigned Variable VAR1.

Pls reward if it is useful..
