Hello community,

I have a string data type. In documentation(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamicsax-2012/developer/strings) said

Size of data type

- Dynamic or fixed length

I thought dynamic length is the length of unlimited size. But when I try to create a string moe than 250 symbols I get a message like Maximum length is 250 symbols.

Example: str var = @"<any string more than 250 symbols>";

is this a limitation of programing language or I can disable this limitation on Axapta.

Please help to handle this issue.

I'm not aware of such a limitation - I was easily able to assign many thousands of characters to a string variable in AX 2009.

When exactly do you get the error?

I add a class. Then I add a method. I add to the method a line:
str val = @"<here I paste a string. Length of this string mote than 250 symbols>";
When I'm trying to paste a string instead fhis<....> to line above I got this error.

I think the maximum length of one line of code is 250 characters in AX2009.

But here I'm able to create a string that is longer than 250 characters:

str myStr = "aifjahadsofhdfoasfhdofdsahfidfhdifhsifshfsifhsihsifghsifgsughidfsghsfighsfdighfgiushgsfighsfigusdhgiyvdvj sjvdjsvosjvsofjsjsogshgohgoshgfsjfosdfjsodfjsdofjsofsjdfosjfosijfosjfosfjsofjosjfsoifjsofsdjfosfjdsofsjofsjofsjodjofsjfos"; myStr = "aoifjollkjlkjlkjlkjlklklkjlkjlkjkjljlkjlkjlkjlkjfhoh"; info(int2str(strLen(myStr)));
