<p><code>STRING</code> creates new string variables for use in
transformations.
</p>
<p>Specify a list of names for the variable you want to create,
followed by the desired output format specification in
parentheses (see <a href="Input-and-Output-Formats.html#Input-and-Output-Formats">Input and Output Formats</a>).
Variable widths are
implicitly derived from the specified output formats.
The created variables will be initialized to spaces.
</p>
<p>If you want to create several variables with distinct
output formats, you can either use two or more separate <code>STRING</code> commands,
or you can specify further variable list and format specification pairs, each separated
from the previous by a slash (‘<samp>/</samp>’).
</p>
<p>The following example is one way to create three string variables; Two of the
variables have format A24 and the other A80:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">STRING firstname lastname (A24) / address (A80).
</pre></div>
<p>Here is another way to achieve the same result:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">STRING firstname lastname (A24).
STRING address (A80).
</pre></div>
<p>… and here is yet another way:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">STRING firstname (A24).
STRING lastname (A24).
STRING address (A80).
</pre></div>
