hello,

i've doubt regarding size of a variable.

i've defined a data item as X(256). Suppose im getting the data which is more than 256 characters and i want all the data(i.e the data after 256th character).

As per my knowledge , the max size of X(alpha numeric) is 256 characters.

Pls., tell me how to handle this situation.
