<h1 class="topictitle1">Examples: Change character variable</h1>
<div><p>This example changes the value of a character variable
using the EVAL debug command.</p>
<div class="example"> <pre>CL declarations: DCL VAR(&amp;CHAR1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE
('A')
DCL VAR(&amp;CHAR2) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
Debug command: EVAL &amp;CHAR1 = 'B'
Result: &amp;CHAR1 = 'B' = 'B'
Debug command: EVAL &amp;CHAR1 = X'F0F1F2F3'
Result: &amp;CHAR1 = 'F0F1F2F3' = '0'
Debug command: EVAL &amp;CHAR2 = 'ABC'
Result: &amp;CHAR2 = 'ABC' = 'ABC '
Debug command: EVAL %SUBSTR(CHAR2 1 2) = %SUBSTR(&amp;CHAR2 3 1)
Result: %SUBSTR(CHAR2 1 2) = %SUBSTR(&amp;CHAR2 3 1) = 'C '
Comment: Variable &amp;CHAR contains 'C C '</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>
