Input fixed string formats

“text”

text is any text string. Because the start and end of the text string is defined by the character “ (double quote), the double quote character is not allowed in the text string. A text string format is normally used in combination with other input formats.

Examples

999”-”99”-”999

Description — fixed string (to define a United States Social Security number)

"ID"

Description — fixed string.

Valid input examples

“Text”ABC””

Description — this is an invalid input format because it includes two extra “ characters in the format.
