3.1.4.9 Formatting a string (SPRINT)
Using the pre-defined SPRINT function, character strings can be formatted and e.g. prepared
for output on external devices (also see "Process DataShare - Output to an external device/file
(EXTOPEN, WRITE, EXTCLOSE): (Page 997)").
Syntax
"<Result_string>"=SPRINT("<Format_string>",<value_1>,<value_2>,...,
<value_n>)
Meaning
SPRINT: Identifier for a pre-defined function that supplies a val‐
ue, type STRING.
"<Format_String>": Character string that contains fixed and variable ele‐
ments. The variable elements are defined using the
format control character % and a subsequent format
description.
< value_1>,< value_2>,…,< value_n>: Value in the form of a constant or NC variables, which
is inserted at the location where the nth format control
character % is located, corresponding to the format
description in the <format_string>.
"<result_string>": Formatted character string (maximum 400 bytes)
