The string value (which the AVM computes at run time) of the contents of the buffer-field object.

The STRING-VALUE( ) method uses the format attribute to convert the buffer value to a string.

Data type: CHARACTER

Access: Read-only

Applies to: Buffer-field object handle

Syntax

STRING-VALUE [ ( [i] ) ]
i
An integer expression representing a subscript, for fields that have extents.
Note: The parentheses after the method name are only required for array fields. For non-array fields, you can omit the parentheses. In this case, the syntax resembles an attribute and is more readable.
