Hi,

does anybody know how to declare a string of variable length in Ada 
83? Declaring a variable of type String like
str: STRING(1..20);
and assigning a string like
str := "a String" 
results in a constraint error if the length of the string is not equal 
to 20.
Is it possible to declare strings with a maximum length which accept 
the assignment of shorter strings too?

Thanx
Alex
