Hi Alex, thanks for your answer,
I want to change the stringlength or produce new strings (delete and add
some words), example:

a=string('llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll')

print,strlen(a)
272
help,a
A STRING =
'lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll'...
that's allright,
but if I write:
word=string('long strings are my problem')
together=string(word,word,word,word,word,word,word)
print,strlen(together)
162 27
help,togehter ==> TOGETHER STRING = Array[2]

What's happen and how can I stop it ?

Karsten
