On uniVerse to enable -1 as meaning "till the end of the string" use:

$OPTIONS REAL.SUBSTR
mysub=longstring[starpos,-1]

If you want to disable the -1 as meaning "till the end of string", use

$OPTIONS -REAL.SUBSTR

Some platforms (Reality, maybe?) had the -1 option on substring
extractions; I thought that was clever.  Too bad it never caught on,
or if it did, I didn't notice.
