Yes, you should always insert varchar data in boxes.
I am very surprised that it works without boxes if it has a leading
integer column.
Also, try inserting multiple rows at once.
Insert__testd 'id1';< ('a';'a1');('b';'b1');<'c';'c1'
instead of
Insert__testd 'id1';< < L:0 'a';'b';'c'
Insert__testd 'id1';< < L:0 'a1';'b1';'c1'
This would not be possible to do with different length strings without
the boxes, which is why they are used.
