It is the same as RSView32 and SLC5's, as listed below taken from a
technotes.

Add the SSxx (string space pad) or the ,SCxx (string null pad) to the address line, where xx indicates the number of elements to pad.

For example when using PLC5 emulation mode or aliases the address line would look like

N7:0,SS41 - 41 ints (82 bytes) padded with spaces when the string is shorter than 82 bytes

N7:0,SC41 - 41 ints (82 bytes) padded with nulls when the string is shorter than 82 bytes

The SS/SC syntax is required to define the length of the string to RSLinx; 82 bytes is the maximum length supported in RSView32.

Sorry, I should have elaborated more:
I.E. N7[4],SC5 will give you ten bytes (five integer addresses of N7[4]-N7[8] int array) an pad with nulls.
