      \brief It returns the substring (String formatting functions).
 
      It returns the substring at position
      Position (counting from 1) with length Length.<br>
      The first argument StringValue is converted to
      a string value before applying the substring operation.
      If Position is not specified it is assumed as 1. The
      default value for Length is the remaining length
      starting at Position.
      <br>
      The function shall react friendly on invalid Position
      and Length contents. Positions and Lengths less or equal 0
      shall yield the empty string. If the actual string length
      is less the defined substring the existing part of the
      substring shall be returned.
