Latest notes:
The byte-like data types are used for byte string processing.
For more about strings, see Strings.
The type x, for which a length interval is specified in the second column of the first table, is generic, which means that the length is not part of the type description. The entry in the column Standard Length specifies the length used in declarations of data objects when using types with generic lengths, if no explicit length is specified in the corresponding statement.
The system class CL_ABAP_ELEMDESCR contains a constant TYPE_X_MAX_LENGTH for the maximum length of the type x.
The maximum size of strings must be respected. If an operation with a string exceeds its maximum size, an exception of class CX_SY_STRING_SIZE_TOO_LARGE is raised and can be handled. NON_V5_HINTS ABAP_HINT_END
ABAP_EXAMPLE_VX5 Declaration of a byte string of the built-in ABAP type xstring for the result of a functional method. This declaration could also be made inline on the left side of the assignment. ABEXA 00837 ABAP_EXAMPLE_END
