Hi..
The maximun chain of character (date string) is 254 character (date type CHAR). The chain can use only like unity.
The standart area is reserved for 256 bytes (254 char)
(1 byte= 1 character + 2 byte for begin)
You can make exact chain of character like this:
(p.ej.: string[9] 'Siemens').
Hope this help.
