Text String Processing Instructions

3-33 Text String Processing Instructions
This section describes instructions used to manipulate text strings.
3-33-1 Text String Processing Overview
Data from the beginning until a NUL code (00 hex) is handled as text string
data expressed in ASCII (except for 1-byte, special characters). It is stored
from leftmost to rightmost bytes, and from rightmost to leftmost words.
When there is an odd number of characters, 00 hex (NUL code) is stored in
the available space in the rightmost byte of the final word.
When there is an even number of characters, 0000 hex (two NUL codes) is
stored in the leftmost and rightmost bytes of the word following the final word.
As shown in the following diagram, a text string can be specified by simply
designating the first word of that string. The text string data up until the next
NUL code (00 hex) will then be handled as a single block of ASCII data.
Text string processing instructions can be used to execute at a PLC the vari-
ous kinds of text string processing (product data, and so on) that used to be
executed at the host computer.
