Parameters
- s
- A string that is inserted inside another sting. It must have a computational type and a character type. If it does not have a character type, it is converted to character.
- l
- The length of a string in which
s is inserted. It must have a computational type and a character type and is converted to Fixed Binary(31,0).
- c
- Optional padding character, inserted to the left and to the right of the string. It must have a nonvarying character type.
Examples:
dcl s char (40) var;
dcl t char (40) var;
s = 'This string is 33 characters long';
t = centerleft(s, 40, '+');
put skip list (t);
will print:
