Copy Returns Substring from String
Copy(Source : <string>; Start,NumChars : Integer) : <string>; [TP]
Returns a string copied from Source starting at location Start and
consisting of NumChars characters.
Source Any string value (constant, variable, function call or
expression).
Start An integer value; starting location in Source for
substring; should be in the range 1..Length(Source).
NumChars An integer value; number of characters to be copied;
should be in the range 1..(1+Length(Source)-Start)
Notes: If Start is not in the range 1..255, a runtime error
17 ($11) is generated.
If Start is greater than the length of the string, the
empty string is returned.
