REPEAT

REPEAT returns a string consisting of x concatenated to itself the number of times specified by y.

That is, there are (y + 1) occurrences of x.

x
Bit, character, graphic, uchar or widechar expression to be repeated. If x is arithmetic, the following conversions occur:
  • If it is binary, x is converted to bit string.
  • If it is decimal, x is converted to character string.
y
Expression. If necessary, y is converted to a real fixed-point binary value.

If y is zero or negative, the string x is returned. For an example of the REPEAT built-in function, see COPY.
