Syntax
FMT(expr, "len [f.char] {L | R | T | C} [n] [$] [,] [Z] [mask]")
FMT(expr, "{L | R | T | C} # len [f.char] [n] [$] [,] [Z] [mask]")
expr "[L | R | T | C] # len [f.char] [n] [$] [,] [Z] [mask]"
FMT(expr, pattern.var)
Description
The UniBasic FMT function formats data in expr for display purposes. FMT can
format a dynamic array that contains multivalues. The statement can be no longer
than 2,046 characters.
In the first form of the syntax, L, R, C, or T and len are required.
The second form is the same as the first form with the elements in a different order.
The third form does not include the keyword FMT, but the elements are in the same
order as in the second form.
In the fourth form, you provide the pattern format in a variable, pattern.var.
Note: The FMT function can produce different results based on the BASICTYPE
setting. The parameter descriptions that follow represent BASICTYPE U.
