Value Attribute
Data Type: varchar(2000)
4GL Access: RW
The Value attribute is a varchar representation of the LongVcharObject.
When this attribute is set, the new value replaces any existing value. By setting this attribute, you can move the contents of a varchar variable into a LongVcharObject object. You cannot set the Value attribute to null.
You can retrieve this value into a varchar variable or the value attribute of a StringObject; in effect, moving a LongVcharObject object into a varchar variable. If necessary, OpenROAD truncates the string at the length of the varchar variable. (You can declare a varchar variable of up to 2000 characters.)
