Character Function Notes

In addition to the functions discussed in this topic, there are character functions that are available only in the Maintain language. For information on these functions, see Maintain-specific Character Functions.

For many functions, the output argument can be supplied either as a field name or as a format enclosed in single quotation marks. However, if a function is called from a Dialogue Manager command, this argument must always be supplied as a format, and if a function is called from a Maintain procedure, this argument must always be supplied as a field name. For detailed information about calling a function and supplying arguments, see Accessing and Calling a Function.
