RIGHT()


Syntax:     RIGHT(<expC>, <expN>)

Purpose:    To extract a specified number of characters from a character
            string beginning with the rightmost character.

Arguments:  <expC> is the character string from which to extract
            characters.

            <expN> is the number of characters to extract.

Returns:    A character string.

            RIGHT() returns the rightmost <expN> characters of <expC>.
            If <expN> is negative or zero, RIGHT() returns a null string
            ("").  If <expN> is larger than the length of the character
            string, RIGHT() returns the entire string.  The maximum
            string size is 65,535 (64K) bytes.

Usage:      Note that RIGHT() is the same as SUBSTR() with a negative
            first argument.  For example, RIGHT("ABC", 1) is the same as
            SUBSTR("ABC", -1)

Library:    EXTEND.LIB
