Just what do you think you are trying to *do*?  The suggested code
is perfectly straightforward, utterly standard Pascal.
How do you come to the "sloppy" conclusion?

Your non-working example seemed to show you were not clear on the
distinction between the SET OF CHAR and STRING types.  The suggested
code fragment demonstrated exactly what you wanted to do, and with
excellent style.  Just what are you looking for?
