Have you ever gotten an RNX0100 as a result of a %subst(string: start:
length) pointing beyond the end of a string? This shouldn't happen. Even
at
run-time. Instead %subst() should return an empty string, or whatever it
can if either start or length fall beyond the end of the string. Instead
if
either start or length fall beyond the end of the string, you get an
RNX0100 at run time.


Personally, I am against having a built-in function NOT tell you
that your parameters are out of range and simply return what it can. Just
my opinion, obviously, but I feel this encourages sloppy programming.
