With {$h+} it works. But when having pchar I wonder why it generally is not possible to make strings longer than 255 as it was possible in the previous compiler version. For shortsting I accept strings not longer than 255 chars. Why is it not possible to make a var like svar : shortstring[ 20 ] ? The whole program I made is compiled with {$h-} so it would be much fault-prone work to put everywhere {$h+} and then {$h-} again. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
