Hi Georgy,

String is the ABAP datatype with variable length. It is used to specify the types of individual fields whose length is not fixed until runtime.

A string is a sequence of characters with variable length. A string can contain any number of alphanumeric characters. The length of a string is the number of characters multiplied by the length required for the internal representation of a single character.

Hope above description gives you idea.

Cheers,

Vikram
