Ex-Device
• A character string stored in and later indicates data stored in devices from the specified device until "00H" is
first detected in byte units.
Cautions
When handling character codes other than ASCII codes, note the following contents:
• The number of characters is handled in byte units (8 bits). Accordingly, in the case of character codes in which 2
bytes express 1 character such as shift JIS codes, the length of 1 character is detected as “2”.
• When extracting characters from a character string including character codes in which 2 bytes express 1 character
such as shift JIS codes, consider the number of characters to be extracted in units of character codes for 1
character.
Note that the expected character code is not given if only 1 byte is executed out of a 2-byte character code.
Errors
An operation error is caused in the following cases; The error flag M8067 turns ON, and the error code is stored in
D8067.
• When “00H” is not set within the corresponding device range after a device specified by (error code: K6706)
• When “n” exceeds the number of characters specified by (error code: K6706)
• When the number of devices after a device number specified by is smaller than the number of devices
required to store extracted “n” characters (that is, when “00H” cannot be stored after all character strings and the
last character) (error code: K6706)
• When “n” is a negative value (error code: K6706)
Program example
In the program example shown below, the number of characters which is equivalent to the number stored in D0 are
extracted from the left end of the character string data stored in D100 and later, and stored to R10 and later when
X010 turns ON.
