Hi Neil,

Thanks Neil. I have removed the paragraph:

   "A string literal is implicitly converted to string type when it is
assigned
   to a variable of type string or is used in an expression involving string
   type operands. A variable of type string can be assigned an expression of

   type string, string literal, or packed array."

since it is covered in the other two locations.

This is done in LRM-190.

Regards
David

Hi David,

Paragraph 3, last sentence reads:
 
   "Literal strings are implicitly converted to the string type when
assigned
   to a string type or used in an expression involving string type
operands."
 
Paragraph 9, page 11 reads:
 
   "A string literal is implicitly converted to string type when it is
assigned
   to a variable of type string or is used in an expression involving string
   type operands. A variable of type string can be assigned an expression of

   type string, string literal, or packed array."
 
Two paragraphs down we have:
 
   "A string, string literal, or packed array can be assigned to a string
   variable."
 
The content of the first sentence of paragraph 9 is identical to the last
sentence in paragraph 3.
 
The content of the second sentence of paragraph 9 is identical to the first
sentence two paragraphs down from it.
 
 
 
Neil
