Returns a string that is the sum of the supplied text.
&STR text text ... text
To return a string made up of nominated text.
&STR is a built-in function and must be used to the right of an assignment statement.
The assigned data commences at the first non-blank following the &STR keyword and includes any following data up to and including the last non-blank character.
&ASISTR differs from &STR in that &STR does not retain blanks that follow the &STR keyword.
Operands:
One or more words or variables to be assigned into the variable to the left of the assignment character (=).
Examples: &STR
&SYSMSG = &STR X11103 INVALID DATA ENTERED &1 = &STR &1 MYTEXT &2
Notes:
&STR is ideal for constructing error messages to be displayed using full-screen panels.
The total size of the constructed variable or constant cannot exceed the maximum size for a variable, that is, 256 characters. (If it exceeds the maximum, it will be truncated to 256 characters.)
If &CONTROL DBCS or DBCSN or DBCSP is in effect, &STR is sensitive to the presence of DBCS data.
