The Character String order corresponds to the GSCHAR and GSCHAP calls.

x0
|
x coordinate at which character string is to
be placed (omitted for order X'83') |

y coordinate of character string (omitted for

STRING
|
EBCDIC character code of each character in
the string. All characters above and
including X'40' are valid. |
Note: The character string is placed at the indicated coordinate. The
attributes of the string (for example, mode, size, angle) are taken from
the current values.
If the character string has a length that is odd, the length field in the
order contains an odd number. The order must be padded with padding
characters to an even number of bytes.
The position (x0,y0) may be omitted, in which case the order code becomes
X'83' and the string is placed at the current position.
Current position is not changed. (This is different from GSCHAR.)
Examples:
C3 08 0002 0003 C1C2C3C4
Draws the character string "ABCD" at coordinate (2,3).
83 03 C5C6C7
Draws the character string "EFG" at the current position.
