Hi Rudra,

It depends on which version u r using. In 4.7 version max length for char variable is 65535. Check in ur system by giving more than this.

I suggest u to declare the variable as string if u don't know the length of data that will come to the variable.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hi,

You have plenty of room here, 1000 character no problem. Not sure that there is a limit, as I am working with really long strings right now in my assigment. I think the only limit would come from the memory cap of your session.
