27 O-Str ing Format: O-STR , P , N, O-S tring always applies to the original data. It cont ains two para meters. The first is position parameter (P) that spe cifies the start output position in the orig inal data. Parameter N tells how many characters will be included beginning from P . Example: Original data is: Barcode Then O-Str , 4, 4 , Gives o[...]

28 Both parameters o f O -S tring mentioned above are numbers. But both param eters can be specified as strings. If N is a string, it becomes a position and the meaning of O-String wil l be "Output from position P to position N". If P is de fined as: " ab...ik " a, b, I , and k can be any character , the position will be evaluat[...]
