[With EN/ENO]
d:=LEFT_E(EN,ENO,s,n);
d:=RIGHT_E(EN,ENO,s,n);
Argument Description Type Data type
EN Execution condition (TRUE: Execution, FALSE: Stop) Input variable BOOL
s Input Input variable STRING(255)
n Specification of number of characters to be extracted Input variable INT
ENO Output status (TRUE: Normal, FALSE: Abnormal) Output variable BOOL
d Output Output variable STRING(255)
These functions output the data for the specified number of characters from the left of a character string input to (s) from (d).
The value input to (n) specifies the number of characters to be extracted.
