RE: What is this construct: "foo = s(bar);"

I normally use a procedure name that is longer than the barely visible "s"

Had it been toString() you would have realized what it was doing..

toJavaString would have been "best" IMO, but I think the toString()
would have been ok.

THANKS! I must have been having a major brain-fart this morning,
somehow forgetting that RPG function declarations don't look like the
corresponding function calls. Maybe it really is time for me to (as
George Washington so eloquently put it) "retire to the backcountry
and live in a wigwam."

(And Kurt, yes, I was asking generically about the "s" function;
hence the "foo" and "bar".)
