GetVWRString is supported by VW 2014, but due to a bug not timely reported, you can’t use it in a subroutine to return the string value. Only directly.

_c_ (2016.08.23):
GetVWRString is supported by VW 2014, but due to a bug not timely reported, you can’t use it in a subroutine to return the string value. Only directly. This is my workaround (from VW 17/2012):
{ _c_ ************************************************ }
{ fix for GetVWRString failing on VW 2014: strings don't set! }
FUNCTION D_GetVWRStr(resID, resNr: INTEGER): STRING;
BEGIN
GetResourceString(D_GetVWRStr, resID, resNr);
{ this silently fails on later versions }
{$IF ver > 19}
GetVWRString(D_GetVWRStr, Concat(resID), Concat(resNr));
{$ENDIF}
END;
Example
vwr = 'EnergyAnalysis/Strings/FormatDef_ThermalBridge.vwstrings' formatName = vs.GetVWRString(vwr, 'FormatName' ) vs.AlrtDialog( formatName )
