9.9 String parameters

String processing functions

You can use the QS parameters to create variable character strings.

You can assign a linear sequence of characters (letters, numbers,
special characters and spaces) up to a length of 256 characters to a
string parameter. You can also check and process the assigned or
imported values by using the functions described below. As in Q-
parameter programming, you can use a total of 2000 QS parameters
(see also "Principle and overview" on page 284).

The STRING FORMULA and FORMULA Q-parameter functions
contain various functions for processing the string parameters.
