If the numeric-argument has a value greater than 254, the resulting string length will be 254 (the maximum length of any string in Internet Basic). <br /> <br /> If the string-argument has a current length of zero, blanks (hex &quot;@20@&quot;) will be used as the repeat character. <br /> <br /> Example: LENGTH 80 &amp; LOCAL STARS$<br /> .<br /> .<br /> .<br /> STARS$ = STRING(&quot;*&quot;,80)<br /> <br /> In the above example, the string variable STARS$ is assigned a value of 80 asterisks. It is assumed that STARS$ is defined with a length of at least 80. If STARS$ is defined with a smaller length, it will be filled completely with asterisks.</div>
