Datatype for XML string

[Former Member]

Dear all,

Can any one tell me what datatype i should use for the XML string as the string size is very very large.

I want to use the datatype in my function and in table.

Can anyone help me out with this??

Thanks in Adavance.

Regards.

STRING is the perfect data type for this matter, memory consumption is dynamic based on the actual length, please see ABAP documentation in this respect.

What makes you think otherwise?

Thanks for your reply,

I have created a table with a column with the data type as string and was trying to store the the value manually but it was storing the value upto 1031 only. that why asked.

So as a alternative i have created a datatype of string with length as 99999 which is max.

Can you please guide me.
