REPEAT returns a bit, character, graphic or widechar string consisting
of x concatenated to itself the number of
times specified by y. That is, there are
(y + 1) occurrences of x.
>>-REPEAT(x,y)-------------------------------------------------><
- x
- Bit, character, graphic 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.
