Character String Edit Descriptors

Character string edit descriptors control the output of character strings. The character string edit descriptors are the character constant and H edit descriptor.

Although no string edit descriptor can be preceded by a repeat specification, a parenthesized group of string edit descriptors can be preceded by a repeat specification or a * indicating an unlimited repeat count.
