SetLength sets the length of the string S to Len. S can be an ansistring, a short string or a widestring. For ShortStrings, Len can maximally be 255. For AnsiStrings it can have any value. For AnsiString strings, SetLength \emph{must} be used to set the length of the string.
In the case of a dynamical array A, setlength sets the number of elements. The elements are numbered from index 0, so the count runs from 0 to Len-1. If Zero is specified, the array is cleared.
None.
