Description
When source code is compiled, FB needs to know where to store quoted strings. (Quoted strings are those that appear in the source code like .) The strings are placed either in a STR# resource (for easy access during localization) or in blocks of data that are stored as part of the program.  : Use this command to begin storing strings in a STR# resource.







It optimizes both resource based and code based  storage. This is the most desirable state and leads to smaller applications. When the compiler sees a string appear for a second time in your source code, it will not make a new entry, but will point to the existing identical entry.

In this case, the compiler will store separate entries for every occurrence of a string even if those occurrences are identical.





Note
statements are not nestable. statements don't apply for string constants.
