| Type | Details | Length | Value Range | Initial Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `string` | For variable length character strings. [Data objects](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_cp_index_htm/CLOUD/en-US/index.htm?file=abendata_object_glosry.htm "Glossary Entry") of this type are [dynamic data objects](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_cp_index_htm/CLOUD/en-US/index.htm?file=abendynamic_data_object_glosry.htm "Glossary Entry"), i. e. the length of a variable can change during the execution of an ABAP program and thus it can contain character strings of different lengths. A data object of type `string` is called *text string* or, in short, just *string*. | No standard length; length is variable | Any [Unicode](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_cp_index_htm/CLOUD/en-US/index.htm?file=abenunicode_glosry.htm) characters that can be encoded in ABAP language's code page [UCS-2](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_cp_index_htm/CLOUD/en-US/index.htm?file=abenucs2_glosry.htm). The most common content are alphanumeric characters or special characters. | Empty string with length 0 |
| `c` | For fixed length character strings. Data objects of this type are [static data objects](http://ldcialx.wdf.sap.corp:50018/sap/public/bc/abap/docu?sap-language=EN&object=abenstatic_data_object_glosry&version=X&sap-client=000), i. e. the length of a variable must be defined during its declaration and does not change during the execution of an ABAP program. Thus, it always contains character strings of the same length. A data object of type `c` is called *text field*.|Data objects of this type can contain a string of fixed length (between 1 and 262143 characters); standard length: 1 | Same as for `string` | A blank for each position |

In addition to these main data types for character strings, there are several other fixed length data types with special meanings:
