RE: Strings, Lengths, etc

Hey, the code I am having a problem with is more like:

TYPE PString = STRING[40]; pPString = ^PString;

VAR PPtr : pPString; ConsVers : String(15); BEGIN PPtr := @ConsVers; END.

test.pas:1425: assignment from incompatible pointer type

This code has worked with Turbo and SVS, but not GPC.

Thanks, Adam

Also, if I have a String[15] and String[20] and I want to assign a

variable

with the value in string15, is there a way to get the compiler to not complain that the types are different?

What do you mean? Assigning between strings of different capacity works without any warning or error:

program Foo;

var Foo: String (15); Bar: String (20);

begin Foo := Bar; Bar := Foo end.
