In C, "AAA" is a string (char*), 'A' is a character (char)

       AjPStr   variable2 = NULL ;
       ajStrAssC (&variable2, "AAA") ;

You can also use ajStrAssCI:

       ajStrAssCI (&variable2, "AAA", 3) ;

Note that the length is not checked - the function is there to save time 
running strlen on long strings.

Hope this helps,
