<h1 class="topictitle1">Examples: Display character variable</h1>
<div><p>This example uses the EVAL debug command to display the value of
character variables.</p>
<div class="example"> <pre>CL declarations:
DCL VAR(&amp;CHAR1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) VALUE('EXAMPLE')
Debug command: EVAL &amp;CHAR1
Result: &amp;CHAR1 = 'EXAMPLE '
Debug command: EVAL %SUBSTR(&amp;CHAR1 5 3)
Result: %SUBSTR(&amp;CHAR1 5 3) = 'PLE'
Debug command: EVAL %SUBSTR(&amp;CHAR1 7 4)
Result: %SUBSTR(&amp;CHAR1 7 4) = 'E '</pre>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The %SUBSTR built-in function allows you to substring a character
string variable. The first argument must be a string identifier, the second
argument is the starting position, and the third argument is the number of
single byte or double byte characters. Arguments are delimited by one or
more spaces.</p>
