Description

If SET STRCONVERT is ON, non-string expressions are automatically converted as they are added to a string. If SET STRCONVERT is OFF, expressions must be converted manually using the ETOS() or other data conversion functions.

By default, STRCONVERT is OFF.

Example

set strconvert on
echo "This string can add numerics and dates etc. " + 100.89 + " " + date()
 
set strconvert off
echo "This string can add numerics and dates etc. " + str(100.89,6,2) + " " + etos(date())
