11.13 STRING

     STRING /var_list (fmt_spec).

STRING creates new string variables for use in transformations.

Specify a slash (‘/’), followed by the names of the string variables to create and the desired output format specification in parentheses (see Input and Output Formats). Variable widths are implicitly derived from the specified output formats.

Created variables are initialized to spaces.
