String is a Type which may contain characters. String is a synonym for ShortString or AnsiString depending on the current compiler setting.
If Compiler directive {$H} or compiler directive {$LongStrings} is on ( {$H+} or {$LongStrings ON} ), then a String type is the same as an AnsiString type, if not ( {$H-} or {$LongStrings OFF} ), it is a ShortString type.
The ShortString length can be decided by the programmer but is limited to 255 characters. If a ShortString length is not given, the length defaults to 255.
The length of an AnsiString is limited by the value of High(SizeInt) (which is platfom dependant) and available memory.
In the future, there might be a compiler switch to have the String type refer to a Unicode (UTF-8 or UTF-16) String type.
