Just for other's information: I've discovered something interesting in the way how you declare a string symbol in a template. According to the documentation, if the String attribute is left out in the declaration, String is used as a default. This is true. However, there is a VERY big difference in the SIZE of the allocated string. #Declare(%X) will allow you to put at least 60,000 characters into the %X symbol, while: #Declare(%X,String) will ONLY allow you to put maximum 255 characters into the %X symbol. I have reported this behaviour to TS developers. Best regards, Arnor Baldvinsson
