Purpose

Determines whether non-string expressions are automatically converted when added to strings


Syntax

SET STRICT ON | OFF | (<expL>)


See Also

DTOC(), DTOS(), ECHO, ETOS(), LTOS(), STR()


Description

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


Example

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