Description Kathy Carroll CLA 2011-08-05 14:24:27 EDT 
Build Identifier: 0.70

I am able to declare a limited string.  I thought the were not supported for 0.7.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a library
2. declare a variable 
      variableName string(4) = "FRED";
3. Didn't think this would be valid since limited string is not supported
4. change to 
   variableName string(4) = "FREDFRED";
Get generation exceptions
Comment 1 Matt Heitz CLA 2011-08-10 11:32:47 EDT 
Yes, this should be rejected by validation.
Comment 2 Kathy Carroll CLA 2011-09-15 14:24:11 EDT 
It was decided that validation won't do restrictions for use of limited strings.
Comment 3 Kathy Carroll CLA 2011-09-16 13:58:59 EDT 
done
