Prototype
function str_get_dq ( ) return_val [1] : string
Description
This function returns a one-character string containing the double quote (").
NCL cannot generate a double quote string using normal string assignment. This function gives a quick/direct way to get a double quote string.
The result of str_get_dq() is same as tostring(tochar(34)).
