The command is ALTER TYPE, I believe.

Are you looking for
STRING. V1 V2 (a8). .
I know this is needed to define the length of a string variable one is about
to compute.

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.
