Agreed. In MSEgui tmsestringfield.size is the maximum allowed character

But here you implicitly assume that you have a fixed number of bytes per
character. You should always be explicit about such things, since this is a
non-trivial assumption.
I don't understand.
"tmsebufdataset stores string data as UnicodeString instead to use a fixed record

If you say "fixed record layout", this means you assume that each character
uses the same amount of bytes, and that the size of the string is limited,
otherwise I fail to see how you can have fixed record layout.
