Hi All,

This does not work:

   TConfiguration = record
     DataFolder: string[MaxPathLen];
   end

Error: string length must be a value from 1 to 255

I already have this on the top of my uinit file: {$mode
objfpc}{$H+}{$LONGSTRINGS ON}

Working with Lazarus 1.0.6/FPC2.6.0 on Linux 3.5/x86_64

Any hint please? Thanks!

The "String[...]" declaration always declares a ShortString and those can have only 1 to 255 characters. An AnsiString does not need the "[...]", because it has always variable length.

Side note: {$H+} and {$LONGSTRINGS ON} is redundant, both mean the same (though {$H+} is more commonly used).

Regards,
Sven
