Description
The maximum that can be specified as the No. of Characters is 255 characters.
Waits until the length of data specified in No. of Characters has been input.
If the File No. is omitted, data is read in from the macro console.
When the number of characters read into the macro console communications buffer exceeds the
specified No. of Characters, the excess is read in at the next Input$ function. This also applies to files.
When character strings are enclosed within double quotation marks (" "), the double quotation marks are
also recognized as characters.
Example

When an integer or double-precision data type has been specified for the <Variable> data type and
non-numeric character data is input, "0" is input into the <Variable>. This does not generate an error.
When character strings are enclosed within double quotation marks (" "), the double quotation marks are
also recognized as characters.
