data str type string value 'character'.

data st(10) type c value 'character'.

write / str.

write / st.

It will show character, both

Hi Praveen,

Strings allocate the memory at the runtime , whereas character type is static memory allocation .

Generally for the text lines we will use string types

Hi,

Nothing wrong.

data str(10) type c - For this you will ahve to specify the charecter length, in this case 10.

dara str type string - Length specification is not required.
