This is going to sound a bit fundamental, but I can't find anywhere in the help that answers it....

If I put in my script:

create object type "Text" attribute "Attribute1"
create object type "String" attribute "Attribute2"

what's the difference between the two types?

I know, I know :-)

From DOORS Help "Understanding attribute types" ;-)

"Text Text, which can include paragraphs (newline characters).
String Text, which cannot include paragraphs (newline characters). "

In addition to the above String is limited to 968 characters, but Text is unlimited in length. Text can contain OLE objects, String can not.

Hi Alan,

formal the difference is, that String is "one line" and Text is "many lines" ...

<citeoors Manual>
Text Text, which can include paragraphs (newline characters).
String Text, which cannot include paragraphs (newline characters).
</cite>


Greetings

thanks, I knew it would be obvious but I couldn't see the wood for the trees.
