Language and Conventions Overview | Expressions
A string expression is the summation of two or more string literals, string variables, or any combination of the two. Adding (concatenated) strings is accomplished by using a plus ("+") between the two values to be joined together.
The following shows how a string expression would be used.
STRING/STR(3,132)
STR(1)='DRILL SIZE ='+'.375
DIA.'
STR(2)='SPOTFACE* '+STR(1)
STR(3)=STR(2)+' $$POSITION
4'
PRINT/STR(3)
The PRINT statement would write the following text to the screen:
SPOTFACE* DRILL SIZE =.375 DIA. $$POSITION 4
