Purpose
Used for text strings.
By default, string lengths are variable; however, you can enforce a specific length by using a fixed length String variable. Shorter strings are allowed and are not padded. The length limit is only enforced when the string is longer than the limit.
To make a String variable a fixed length, append an asterisk (*) and a whole number, representing the maximum number of characters, to the String keyword. Strings that are longer than the maximum are truncated.
Acceptable values
0 to approximately 65,500 characters
Example
Dim LastName As String * 7
