#CHARGETV Built-In Function
•
Any part of the specified copy that lies beyond the end of var-1 is ignored.
•
Each logical line contains an end-of-line character that counts as one byte. For
variables that contain TACL statements, each metacharacter uses the number of
visible characters plus one, including unprintable characters that are subject to
change from one TACL RVU to another. Nonmetacharacters use one byte.
