Processing Functions for Character-Like Arguments

The following processing functions have a character-like result. They can be declared at general expression positions and character-like expression positions. The return values have the type string.

The function boolc also has a return value of the type string and is (in principle) also one of these functions. It is handled, however, in accordance with its role as a logical function.

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54


Notes

  • The processing functions for character-like arguments ignore the trailing blanks for input parameters with fixed lengths.

  • The type string of the return values must be respected mainly when using functions in comparisons.
