STRING - Character sequence.

XSTRING - Hexadecimal Code

Lengths are adjusted directly at runtime.

Hi,

STRING is of text type which holds characters.

XSTRING is a of byte type which holds values of hexadecimal numbers.

Initial value of both the data types is empty.

The elementary data type STRING is similar to data type C and refers to a variable-length string. Accordingly, the elementary data type XSTRING is similar to data type X and refers to a variable-length byte sequence.

Hi Suman,

String and XString both are used to contain unlimited amount of data but the difference is in the type of data they contain. String contains data in the form of string i.e. unlimited characters and XString contains data in form of bytes i.e. it is used to contain data from files and any other similar data source.

hi suman,

Actualy xstring recognize only the HEX values i.e 0 to 9 and A,B,C,D , E and F.

Instead of your string it is character sequence like 'BEA123BF' .

thanx
