These are examples of string expressions.
Assume the following variables:
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| &AA | 'GOOD ' |
| &BB | 'REPLACEMENT' |
| &CC | 'ALSO GOOD' |
| &DD | 'METHOD' |
The following table shows character string expressions and the result.
| Expression | Result |
|---|---|
| (&AA || &BB) | GOOD REPLACEMENT |
| (&AA||&BB) | GOOD REPLACEMENT |
| (&AA *CAT &BB) | GOOD REPLACEMENT |
| (&CC |> &DD) | ALSO GOOD METHOD |
| (&CC *BCAT &DD) | ALSO GOOD METHOD |
| (A *CAT MOUSE) | AMOUSE |
| ('A ' *CAT MOUSE) | A MOUSE |
| (FAST *CAT MOUSE) | FASTMOUSE |
| ('FAST ' *BCAT MOUSE) | FAST MOUSE |
| ('FAST ' *TCAT MOUSE) | FASTMOUSE |
| ('AB' *CAT 'CD') | ABCD |
| ('AB' *BCAT 'CD') | AB CD |
| ('AB' *TCAT 'CD') | ABCD |
| (%SST(&AA 1 5) *CAT (%SST(&BB 3 5)) | GOOD PLACE |
| (%SST(&CC 1 9) *BCAT (%SST(&BB 3 5)) | ALSO GOOD PLACE |
| (&AA *CAT ' TIME') | GOOD TIME |
| (&CC *BCAT TIME) | ALSO GOOD TIME |
