The commands

string sc1 = @right("I doubt it", 8)

return the string objects SC1 and SC2 containing the string “doubt it”.
If ALPHA1 is an alpha series,
alpha strleft = @right(alpha1, 7)
returns the right-most 7 characters from the string values of ALPHA1 for each observation in the workfile sample.
