The $FSEQ Function
result=$FSEQ([a1[,a2[,…]])
Returns: Sequence
Virtual Machine Reference, Model Customization
Simulation Macro Functions, Character and Sequence Functions
This function provides an obsolete method of constructing a sequence. The $FSEQ function
returns a sequence equivalent to all the arguments it is called with. The macro { } sequence
operator should be used instead of $FSEQ. For example, specify {a1,a2} instead of
$FSEQ(a1,a2).
The $FSUBSQ Function
result=$FSUBSQ(q,n1,n2)
Returns: Sequence
This function provides an obsolete method of returning zero or more elements of a sequence
variable. This function returns the portion of the sequence q starting at element number n1 and
ending at element number n2. Both n1 and n2 must be positive non-zero values. If n2 is less than
n1, a sequence of length zero is returned. The macro : (colon) operator should be used instead of
$FSUBSQ. For example, specify q(n1:n2) instead of $FSUBSQ(q,n1,n2).
The $FSUBST Function
result=$FSUBST(a1,a2,a3)
Returns: String
This function provides an obsolete method of returning a portion of a string variable. This
function returns the portion of the string a1 starting at character position a2 and ending at
character position a3. Both a2 and a3 must be positive non-zero values. If a3 is less than a2, a
blank string is returned. The macro : operator should be used instead of $FSUBST. For example,
specify a1(a2:a3) instead of $FSUBST(a1,a2,a3).
The $FSWRIT Function
result=$FSWRIT(s[,a1[,a2[,…]]])
Returns: String
This function returns the string s into which the subsequent arguments a1, a2, etc, have been
formatted. It effectively does an internal write of the arguments into the format string and returns
the result. The returned string is produced by inserting the arguments into the string s wherever
special format characters are found. More information on these formatting characters can be
found in “Output String Format Specifications” on page 139.
