Hi Srinadh,

CHAR: Character string. Fields of type CHAR may have a maximum length of only 255 in tables.If longer character fields are to be used in tables, you must choose data type LCHR. There are no restrictions on the length of such fields in structures.

NUMC: Long character field in which only numbers can be entered. The length of this field is limited to a maximum of 255 places.

Thanks
