Strings
String literals are delimited either with single(’) or double (") quotes in Arbortext IsoDraw macros:
'Mo Szyslak'"Julius Hibbert"
Within a string other type quotes can be used without limitation:
MESSAGE "hello world: 'part one'"
MESSAGE 'hello world: "part two"'
Quotes of the same type have to be doubled for not terminating the string:
string1 = "double quote: "" "
string2 = 'single quote: '' '
Adding one string to another with the ’+’ operator:
DEFINE text AS string
text = "con" + 'cat'
MESSAGE text + "enated"
