So, this is kind of embarrassing but I can recall and can't find the
name of
a command that is used to   change the defined length of string variable
(among other uses). The syntax goes something like

Xxxxxxx v1 v2 v3(amin).

The name is just not obvious at the moment!

Thanks, Gene

PS. I understand there are other ways to do this but I'm interested in
the
command.
