Created page with "The V format specification identifies string data. It is a highly versatile specification in that it can be used with both types of FORM statements (for internal/external ..."

New page

The V format specification identifies string data. It is a highly versatile specification in that it can be used with both types of [[FORM]] statements (for internal/external files and for display files), and it can be used with the full screen processing statements.

;Input characteristics:
For string input, V removes all trailing spaces when reading in a value.

;Output characteristics:
When V is used for output, leading spaces are retained but blanks are padded on the right, as in the following example:

00010 PRINT USING 20: " ABC","DEF"
00020 FORM C 8,C 3

;NOTE that the leading space in " ABC# " is retained:

ABC DEF

;Technical Considerations:
:1.) When used for string output, the V, [[C]] and [[[G]] specifications behave identically. On string input, C differs from V and G in that it retains all trailing spaces.
:2.) See the [[VL]] and [[VU]] format specifications for information on variations of V.
