7 APPLICATION INSTRUCTION
7.6 Character string operation instruction
Storing the specified number of character strings
MIDR(P)
These instructions extract the number of characters specified by (s2)+1 of the character string data stored in the device
specified by (s1) and later from the position specified by (s2), and store the extracted characters in the device specified by (d)
and later.
■Descriptions, ranges, and data types
■Applicable devices
*1 T, ST, C cannot be used.
• These instructions extract the number of characters specified by (s2)+1 of the character string data stored in the device
specified by (s1) and later from the position specified by (s2), and store the extracted characters in the device specified by
(d) and later.
• A character string stored in (s1) indicates data stored in devices from the specified device until "00H" is first detected in
units of byte.
• A NULL code (00H), which indicates an end of a character string, is automatically added at the end of the character string
data.
• When the number of extracted characters "(s2)+1" is odd, "00H" is stored in the upper byte of a device storing the last
character. When the number of extracted characters "(s2)+1" is even, "0000H" is stored in the device after the last
character.
• If the number of characters specified by (s2)+1 is 0, no processing is performed.
