Good morning Shalom;

The last paragraph of the section explains:

"Optionally, the system task can be redefined (or additionally defined)
as a function that returns the number of characters in the resulting
string before any truncation that would occur if the reg to hold the
result is not large enough."

So the example syntax:

length = $sformat(output_reg, format_string, list_of_arguments);

Shows usage as a system function that returns the number of characters
that should be assigned to 'output_reg'. I guess we missed this
clarifiation within the text.

How's the presentation material coming Shalom?
