Strings
A string element defines a character string that you can refer to later in the execution of Adams View or Adams Solver. The character string cannot be broken and continued on the next line. It can, however, be longer than a single line. You can use the GTSTRG subroutine to retrieve the character string in a User-written subroutine. For example, you could use a string element to pass a file name to a user-written subroutine. For more information, see the Subroutines section of the Adams Solver online help.
