From manual found here (english): https://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/llisapi.dll/csfetch/36932465/s71200_system_manual_en-US_en-US.pdf?func=cslib.csFetch&nodeid=36932473&forcedownload=true The section 8.3.2 (see header in attached image) describes how it works with array[0..n] of char/byte to/from strings. The manual states it is for FW2.2 and Portal V11 and does not specify which service pack applies, though SP2 is a free update and well worth it for the bugs it fixes and options it provides.
