|
|
|
|
<p>Some languages, like C or the original Pascal, do not have string types,
|
|
they just have related things like arrays of characters. But most
|
|
Pascals and various other languages have string types, which are
|
|
indicated as follows:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code>n <var>type-information</var> ; <var>bytes</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p><var>bytes</var> is the maximum length. I’m not sure what
|
|
<var>type-information</var> is; I suspect that it means that this is a string
|
|
of <var>type-information</var> (thus allowing a string of integers, a string
|
|
of wide characters, etc., as well as a string of characters). Not sure
|
|
what the format of this type is. This is an AIX feature.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>z <var>type-information</var> ; <var>bytes</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Just like ‘<samp>n</samp>’ except that this is a gstring, not an ordinary
|
|
string. I don’t know the difference.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>N</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Pascal Stringptr. What is this? This is an AIX feature.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>Languages, such as CHILL which have a string type which is basically
|
|
just an array of characters use the ‘<samp>S</samp>’ type attribute
|
|
(see <a href="String-Field.html#String-Field">String Field</a>).
|
|
