SUMMARY
The README.TXT incorrectly describes a CodeView command you can use to display a variable-length string. The incorrect description is: b$sd(&stringvar),S which results in this error message:

CXX0026: Error: bad format string

The correct syntax requires a lowercase s:  b$sd(&stringvar),s For example, in the CodeView command Window at the > prompt, you can use the following command to display the variable X$. >?b$sd(&X),s
