Explanation of function and operation
1. 16-bit operation (LEFT and LEFTP)
"n" characters are extracted from the left end (that is, from the head) of the character string data stored in
and later and stored to
S
If the number of characters specified by "n" is "0", the NULL code (00H) is stored to
When characters are extracted from a character string, "00H" is automatically added at the end of the
extracted characters.
- When the number of extracted characters is odd, "00H" is stored in the high-order byte of a device
storing the last character.
- When the number of extracted characters is even, "0000H" is stored in a device next to the device
storing the last character.

• A character string stored in
"00H" is detected at first in units of byte.
Cautions
When handling character codes other than ASCII codes, note the following contents:
• The number of characters is handled in units of byte (8 bits). Accordingly, in the case of character codes in
which 2 bytes express 1 character such as shift JIS codes, the length of 1 character is detected as "2".
• When extracting characters from a character string including character codes in which 2 bytes express 1
character such as shift JIS codes, consider the number of characters to be extracted in units of character
codes for 1 character.
Note that the expected character code is not given if only 1 byte is executed out of a 2-byte character code.
